This is the first paper that studies the feasibility of e-will systems on the internet and designs secure e-will protocols. Traditionally, such wills usually come in the form of a paper document that has to be signed with a lawful witness and can be consigned to an attorney for safety and security. However, this traditional process with an attorney involved means a fee the general public can probably not afford. The contributions of this paper are the feasibility study of e-will system complying with the civil laws, identifying the security requirements of secure e-will protocols, and the proposed efficient solutions for e-will system.

Keywords: security, bilinear pairing, identity-based cryptosystem, signature, encryption
