Cryptomathic joins Cloud Signature Consortium as Executive Member
October 2022 by Marc Jacob
Remote e-signature specialist, Cryptomathic, today announces that it has joined the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC), a global group of industry, government and academic organizations committed to driving the standardization and interoperability of secure and compliant digital signatures in the cloud, as an Executive Member.
The introduction of the European Union’s Regulation on Identification and Trust Services (eIDAS) identified a clear need for a global standard to ensure interoperability between all stakeholders in the digital signature community. The Cloud Signature Consortium was formed to answer this need by developing common protocols to bring secure digital signature services to cloud-based applications for billions of users across web and mobile.
As an Executive Member, Cryptomathic will integrate Signer, its remote Qualified Electronic Signature solution, with the CSC’s latest API protocol. This integration will foster greater interoperability between Signer and the third-party providers and solutions required to enable secure and compliant digital signature processes in the cloud. Once complete, users of CSC-certified applications will be able to take advantage of the key features of the Signer solution with greater ease. This includes its What You See Is What You Sign (WYSIWYS) functionality, which provides strong non-repudiation and addresses long term validation signature profiles for XML or PDF documents, and its high-assurance level, underpinned by its Common Criteria certification under the eIDAS protection profile 419241-2 for remote Qualified Electronic Signatures.
As an industry leader, Cryptomathic will also take an active role in the further development of the CSC API – a powerful yet flexible API specification for cloud-based trust services – as part of its commitment to support the advancement of technical excellence, security and interoperability for trusted e-signatures worldwide.
