Every day the amount of procedures and transactions that are offered on the Web grows more and more. They require users to electronically sign using certificates installed on their browsers or in smart-cards. Currently there is no widely used or standardized solution. While some web browsers offer electronic signing mechanisms (such as the "crypto.signText()" method) they lack the ability of electronically signing documents that are required by most workflow processes.
Safelayer's OpenSignX is a Java applet that, on MS-Windows environments, also works using Microsoft Cryptography API (CAPI). It is capable of electronically signing web forms and documents on top of several platforms and web browsers.
This component currently works on any MS-Windows web browser using certificates from major certificate providers such as the Spanish electronic ID card (DNI electrónico) or using certificates stored on smart-cards or disc such us the ones provided by the Spanish Royal Mint (CERES-FNMT). Future versions of OpenSignX will work on Linux and Macintosh patforms.
OpenSignX is part of Safelayer's TrustedX product and it is based on OpenOCES (http://www.openoces.org) and can be freely tested on http://labs.safelayer.com/opensignx.
