CoSign Digital Signatures are First to Comply with New OASIS DSS Standard


Pleasant Hill, California - May 31, 2007-- ARX (Algorithmic Research), a member of the OASIS DSS (Digital Signature Services) technical committee, is the first digital signature vendor to offer a product compliant with the new DSS standard recently approved by OASIS members.

"The DSS standard protocol has allowed us to enhance CoSign's SAPI (Signature API) by offering a Web Services interface, enabling rapid integration for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) based applications," said Uri Resnitzky, Chief Scientist at ARX, a leading global provider of digital signatures (standards-based electronic signatures) and information assurance solutions.

"This technology is seen as a key enabler of standards-based electronic signatures for organizations that need to integrate the signature and verification process into complex workflows (such as those based on the BPEL standard), web applications and other custom or OEM solutions," adds Resnitzky.

CoSign® is ARX's non-forgeable, simple-to-use, digital-signature solution that allows users to electronically sign documents, records, files, forms, and other electronic transactions. CoSign enables users to sign multiple document-format types (Word, PDF, and others) with just a click of the mouse, resulting in seamless user adoption and fast deployments.

"The new standard answers the need for providing document integrity using Web Services and demonstrates ARX's commitment to bringing products to market that adhere to the strictest security standards, incorporating them into our products, and passing along the benefits to our customers," said Gadi Aharoni, CEO at ARX.
