ABOUT

The NICDSign is a cross-platform, browser independent solution for digital signature using PKCS#11 tokens. The NICDSign is a client based solution where the DSC capabilities are installed in the client machine as a background service. The NICDSign solution overcomes the problem of applet based DSC solutions due to the lack of browser support. The support for applets is withdrawn from major browsers and Oracle is planning to deprecate Java browser plugins starting JDK9. The signing of data is carried at the client side and the verification of signature is carried out in the server side. The solution is also cable of signing PDF files with visible signature stamping in the document. NICDSign solution is supported in all the major operating systems viz Windows, Linux and macOS. The solution can be integrated by applications developed in Java, PHP and .NET etc.
