CreaSign: digital signature software component

 

What is e-business? What is digital signature? What is CreaSign?

CreaSign is a software component, which enables simple creation and verification of digital signature within different applications. Digital signature (or electronic signature) ensures a rock-solid, legally binding security of your e-business: guarantees authenticity and prevents repudiation or tampering with digitally signed electronic documents. Digital signature, endorsed by CreaSign, is as legally binding as a handwritten signature on a paper document.

Why digital signature?

Digital signature ensures the essential electronic document security features: signatory authentication, document integrity and non-repudiation. Using CreaSign an arbitrary application can securely create advanced electronic signatures in a straightforward way that complies with all relevant guidelines and legislation in force: EU and UN guidelines, ETSI and EESSI technical recommendations as well as Slovene Electronic Commerce and Electronic Signature Act and recommendations of Digital Signature Working Group which operates within Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia (CCIS).

CreaSign provides various applications with a simple way of digital signature creation and digital signature verification. It encapsulates and hides different low-level cryptographic APIs for certificate management, smart cards access and digital signature creation or verification.

CreaSign: flexible, simple, yet efficient

Due to its flexible implementation, CreaSign enables a seamless, simple and user-friendly integration of electronic signature into an arbitrary application and thus helps implement any form of digital signature based e-business.

Even though CreaSign is extremely simple to use, it does not limit you in usage of advanced options, like multiple signatures on a single electronic document, sequential (counter) or parallel signatures, signature hierarchy, partial signatures, signature of a document batch, signing a large file, timestamping, using digital certificates on smart cards etc. CreaSign object model also allows for implementation of unique and advanced digital signature scenarios.

CreaSign: XML Signature or PKCS#7

CreaSign supports various digital signature formats like Xml-Signature (XmlDSig and XAdES) or PKCS#7 signature.

CreaSign Trial Version

To try and test the immensely straightforward usage of CreaSign component, please do download the CreaSign SDK trial version. If you run into any difficulty or have a question, check the "Overview" and "How Do I" chapters of CreaSign and digital signature documentation.

CreaSign: browser and operating sistem

To create a digital signature in a browser CreaSign client component supports both Internet Explorer (Windows) and Mozilla/Firefox (Windows, Linux and Mac).

On server CreaSign only requires one of the Windows operating systems: 9x/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista. CreaSignServer service supports all common server platforms (Windows, Linux, Unix etc.) and development environments (.NET, Java, PHP, …) platform to create or verify a signature.
