Information for Readers

This server publishes articles, reports, dissertations and theses from Linköping University, published in PostScript or PDF-format. To be able to read them without printing them out, you can download a reader.
   To ensure that the article published is the same one as the author sent to us for publishing, we have a system with checksums and PGP. The checksum uses the md5 method and every checksum is signed with our PGP-key.
    If you want to validate the article published by us please read our page Guarantees of Persistence and the paragraph Procedure for verifying that an article has not been modified.
    Should you still wish additional assurance that the article has not been tampered with, then please fax a form to us, requesting that the checksum is sent to you via fax instead. We can not send you hard-copies of the article.
