III.2. Restrictions to the assignment of guarantees of existence
gruen_linie - 146409.3

Due to several, mainly economic, reasons it can be assumed that the assignment of guarantees of existence needs to be subjected to restrictions. Let us look at the following restrictions:

  • duration for which a guarantee can be set
  • disk space

The process of deciding on limits is reasonably divided into two steps: First, the system operators need to specify how long and to which extent they can and should provide the technical infrastructure for publishing content. Only then can users be provided with guaranteed assets. Afterwards, users are able to set or extend guarantees of existence within the scope of their assets for their own data as well as for external documents, provided their authors have permitted to do so.
