During the event, ARX, D-TRUST, and Apsec presentations will feature CoSign's cost-effective digital signatures solution, in combination with Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007. The CoSign
and SharePoint integration enables multiple architectures to serve dispersed and mobile collaborations throughout an organization. CoSign has been tailored for the Microsoft application
environment to allow users to digitally sign in Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007, Office 2000, 2003, 2007, SPS2003, InfoPath, Outlook, BizTalk, and ISO, or Adobe PDFs. Further, CoSign
plugs into the Microsoft management framework as a standard compatible system under Active Directory, Windows Kerberos, and the Microsoft Management Console (MMC). CoSign's centralized
approach features web trusted certificates, a web service API based on OASIS DSS for custom Microsoft, and zero management of keys or certificates. The solution's net applications and the
server-appliance options include a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 or IBM System x server.
In addition to standard digital signatures, CoSign also provides graphical signatures embedded into documents, along with the PKCS#7 digital signature block. Moreover, CoSign supports
commonly used strong authentication devices, client and server software. These include RADIIUS-based OTP systems, USB tokens, Smart cards, and Biometrics devices. Support for mobile
devices and software-only authentication solutions will be announced soon.
