Lesson 7: From Requirements to Specific Solutions - Two Key Decisions
As you consider particular solutions to meet the general performance goals, two decisions are especially important because of their broader implications for your system.
These key decisions are:
- Type of credential used
- What the system defines as the COR As defined in § 3.3 of CROMERR, a true and correct copy of an electronic document received by an electronic document receiving system, which copy can be viewed in a human-readable format that clearly and accurately associates all the information provided in the electronic document with descriptions or labeling of the information. A copy of record includes: 1) All electronic signatures contained in or logically associated with that document; 2) The date and time of receipt; and 3) Any other information used to record the meaning of the document or the circumstances of its receipt.
Consider these key decisions before establishing system specifications and design. The following pages discuss these key decisions and describe their impacts on overall system design.
As you think about different approaches, remember the implications and trade-offs associated with each decision.
