Overview
OpenTrust SPI SDK offers a standalone solution for client-side generation and validation of digital signatures. The SPI SDK native library is automatically and seamlessly integrated into business applications and no additional application servers, signature servers or databases are required.
Electronic signatures are an integral part of today’s digital business processes. However, requirements for implementing signature functions can vary from one process to another and from one application to another. This is why OpenTrust SPI SDK uses advanced signature policy rules, predefined in profiles that are selected by each application.
In addition to client-side signature generation, validation and time stamping, other powerful functions include an easy-to-use API, optimized batch signature operations, support for large XML files, support for multiple signature formats (PKCS#7, CMS, XMLDSig, XAdES etc.) and full compatibility with certificates/ key pairs held on smart cards.
