Archives are probably the best answer towards the question of what might be the best solution of keeping valuable data such as official documents, files and folders stored in a way where their integrity and safety will be ensured and also to make all that data easily accessible whenever it is needed.
In many official government and non government departments, special archive desks and stores are used for the purpose to keep the all the data stored for further availability and as a record of history. In paper format documents could vary in terms of their use such as organizational documents, governmental data, legal documents, official records of student’s transcripts and many others. Same varieties are used in electronic documents also. But in electronic terms it is very difficult to have a proper record of all valuable data by ensuring its integrity and safety as well. For that purpose people have tried to develop many solutions by using the modern technology. After working so hard from many years to find an appropriate solution technologists have been succeeded to develop a protocol named by LTAP. It is the abbreviation of Long Term Archive Protocol.
It has the specification of conserving the valuable digitally signed documents safely for as much time as you need. It ensures that the all the desired data could be stored with possible integrity of it and also could be retrieved whenever it is needed. By conserving the digital documents we mean different ways of conservation either it could be of having the existence of a document for a specific time period and than its destruction or it could be the existence of a document with completeness of it and by also ensuring the authenticity and integrity and accessibility of it. This protocol is offered by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) and use to work with the helping role of TAA (Trusted Archive Authority).
PKI’s responsibility is to ensure the trusted signature provision for the electronic documents in way through which the document could be able to have the non-repudiation and legality while the responsibility of TAA is different. It works to ensure that the provided data is secured, its existence is legal at the existing point where it is needed and its integrity and authenticity is as much valid as its completeness and after that here comes the LTAP which works to provide long term assurance of preserving specific valuable data.
This protocol service is able to accept various types of data such as in raw form or it could be digitally signed, encrypted or time-stamped electronic documents and it is also helpful in the providence of transferring such archived data over the servers. Under its basic services this protocol is helpful in the storage, conservation and retrieving of any electronic data but in its advanced features it is now being able to help assuring the confidentiality of any data or document.
By the usage of LTAP any type of file either it is “Word, Excel, PDF or Zip” format, it can be stored with high integrity and confidentiality under the existing determined policies.
