What is a Digital Signature? Digital signatures replace handwritten signatures for electronic documents. Digital “fingerprint” of a document + Digital Identity of a signer –Digital signature is unique to both document & signer –Digitally signed documents have legal effect and trust outside of the organization Document to Sign Digital Signature Signed Document ++ Document Hash Signer’s Private Key Signer’s ID & Public Key
9
What are Standard Digital Signatures? A technology that provides: –Universally verify signatures & documents anytime/anywhere –Signed documents that have effect outside the system that created them –Technology that will outlive vendor & user A technology that is well known, peer-reviewed and vetted: –1976 Stanford (Diffie-Hellman) –1977 MIT & Weizmann Institute (RSA) –Technology is immune to forgery A technology that is endorsed by: –Governments –Standards & Regulatory Bodies –Fortune 500 Corporations EU DIRECTIVE ON ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES

Approvals and Authorizations Verification inside and outside the organization Audit and regulatory requirements Acceptance, e.g., of SoPs When are Digital Signature Needed? When Proof of Identity, Intent and Integrity is needed.
14
FAQ Regulations & Compliance Best Business Practices for E-Signatures
15
US/EU Federal and State Regulations Legislation –Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (“E-Sign”) – 2000 –Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (“UETA”) – 1999 –EU Directive for Electronic Signatures Regulations & Compliance These Acts give legal force and effect to digital signatures
16
US Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) UETA http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/archives/ulc/fnact99/1990s/ueta99.htm http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/archives/ulc/fnact99/1990s/ueta99.htm SECTION 7. LEGAL RECOGNITION OF ELECTRONIC RECORDS, ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, AND ELECTRONIC CONTRACTS. –(a) A record or signature may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because it is in electronic form. –(b) A contract may not be denied legal effect or enforceability solely because an electronic record was used in its formation. –(c) If a law requires a record to be in writing, an electronic record satisfies the law. –(d) If a law requires a signature, an electronic signature satisfies the law. Regulations & Compliance
17
US E-Sign Act ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES IN GLOBAL AND NATIONAL COMMERCE ACT (aka E-Sign) at: http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi- bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=106_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ229.106 http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi- bin/getdoc.cgi?dbname=106_cong_public_laws&docid=f:publ229.106 Mirrors various provisions of UETA (which preceded it.) –section a) says electronic signatures and documents are legal –section b) this act does not override other acts that may mandate use of paper-based transactions –section c) “Consents” outlines what the parties must agree, and declare they agree(d), to use of electronic signatures/contracts between them, this seems especially important in B2C and B2B scenarios. Regulations & Compliance
18
EU Directive for Electronic Signatures The EU Directive from 2000 requires standard digital signatures, without explicitly saying so (wanting to appear technology neutral). All EU Member States have complied to this directive with local legislation, as of 2003. EU Member States are not allowed to add additional requirements to those in the EU Directive. There is also an EU Directive for electronic invoices (EU VAT Directive) which calls for electronic signatures as defined in the EU Directive for electronic signatures. Regulations & Compliance
19
Vertical Industry Regulations FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 –CoSign provides Reason-Code management –CoSign supports sectional signing –CoSign provides a standard digital signature on Adobe PDF and MS Office –CoSign has been part of several FDA audits ~1,000+ –CoSign is SAFE compliant HIPAA –Per HIPAA requirements, CoSign provides integrity of the patient record, esp. when the patient record is transported from place to place SOX –Once the organization remediates their spreadsheets for SOX compliance, CoSign signatures are a convenient and reliable way to manage spreadsheet versioning and change control and maintain SOX compliance. Regulations & Compliance
20
Best Business Practices for E-Signatures An Electronic Signature must be: –Attached to, (or logically associated with), signed information –Uniquely linked to the signer –Capable of identifying the signer –Created using means the signer maintains under his/her control –Verifiable by Anyone at Anytime And, Changes to signed information must be Easily Detectable by Anyone at Anytime
21
Law vs. Good Business Practices These acts give legal force and effect to electronic signatures. US law (UETA Section 2 (8) and E-Sign SEC. 106. (5)) defines an electronic signature as: –An electronic sound, symbol or process, –attached or logically associated with a contract or record, and –executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record. EU Directive requires standard digital signatures, without explicitly saying so (wanting to appear technology neutral). –Impact on E-Business: Proprietary Electronic signaturesProprietary Electronic signatures are legal but NOT SECURE (and are Not Industry Standard) Standard Digital SignaturesStandard Digital Signatures are legal and ARE SECURE –Plus an Industry Standard

CoSign for Laserfiche Features A standard Laserfiche plug-in for v7.21 Username and password is the same as the Laserfiche username and password User must be signed in as a Full Laserfiche user Tailored for Laserfiche – Workflow and Document Store Signs TIFF documents by concatenation pages into a PDF and returning a signed PDF Updates document with new signed version (PDF) keeps previous version intact Updates document template to indicate to Laserfiche Workflow module that it has been signed Add signatures to imported documents within Laserfiche, and MS Office and PDF documents Documents are sealed electronically, providing evidence of signer’s intent and document authenticity, guaranteeing document integrity. Graphical signatures added to signature block of document for visual indication of the user’s identity. Fully upgradeable to ARX CoSign Enterprise and SMB.
