1 Adding Digital Signatures to Laserfiche with CoSign® Monday, January 14th – 1:30 to 2:30 Class Number: IS117 John Marchioni, ARX, Inc.

2 Agenda ARX – The Company behind the Technology The Electronic-Signature Market Digital Signatures, their Benefits & Demo The role of Digital Signatures in ECM Frequently Asked Questions – Regulations & Compliance – Best Business Practices for E-Signatures What is CoSign for Laserfiche? – What is CoSign Enterprise? – CoSign’s Value Proposition Summary and Q&A

3 ARX Company Approach: Pre-integration, scalable, secure, and simple management Complements: ECM, Workflow and BPM Solutions Targets: Enterprise 500+ users –Sweet Spot: Multi-application, Multi-user Environments Global Base: 2400+ Customers ARX enables persons who do not have the skill and/or resources to attain and routinely use Digital Signature Capabilities

4 ARX – Market Footprint Life Sciences Manufacturing / Eng. Healthcare GovernmentCOLUMBUS Energy, Oil & Gas FinancialMisc.

5 Business value of an ARX Partnership Digital signatures expand an ECM System’s footprint – Electronic Capture – Forms/Document – Records Management – Work Flow ARX Track Record – Technical Mastery High Performance with Low Complexity High Security at a Low Cost – Significant adoption – Influencing ECM, Workflow and BPM deployments

6 Electronic Signature Market < 2 Years to mainstream adoption

8 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

10 A Basic CoSign Digital-Signature Demo

11 Digital Signature Features Provides Known Quality of Information Provides Known Origin of Information It’s a Standard: –Broadly Usable –Will outlive the Vendor and User

12 Where do Digital Signatures Fit In EDMS? Optimized Business

13 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
