The CoSign digital signature solution takes a centralized approach to deploying digital signatures within an organization, enabliing an extremely quick deployment. Once the CoSign appliance is installed on the company’s network, CoSign will work in sync with the company’s user directory (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory, Novel/NDS) to generate signing keys (Private Keys) to all users.
The technology behind CoSign digital signatures is based on an industry standard known as "Public Key Infrastructure" (PKI). With PKI, each user has a key-pair, a Private Key and a Public Key used in every signature. Click here to learn more about how CoSign uses PKI.
