Electronic Signatures for Real Business Processes

What is Digital Handshake?

Digital Handshake is a standards-based electronic signature solution that allows financial institutions, government agencies, and corporate departments to eliminate dependency on physical paper, wet signatures and manual routing procedures.

Through a robust set of features, Digital Handshake allows the easy creation and management of ad hoc and template-based transactions. In addition, Digital Handshake makes it easy to sign, route and store any file type without the use of client side plug-ins. Digital Handshake's flexibility and ease of use is also characterized by its ability to accommodate any combination of signature method (i.e. click, PIN, Password, Signature Pad, or digital certificate) or signature complexity.

More than just a platform for eliminating paper processes, Digital Handshake has been specifically designed to accommodate hybrid paper and electronic document processes. This key design consideration puts Digital Handshake in a unique class of electronic signatures solutions and provides financial, government and corporate institutions with a manageable way to transition from paper to electronic signature based processes.

Banksign is a variant of DHS that allows financial service providers to improve their handling of cash movement instructions for clients. Using the system, an account manager prepares bank payment instructions using a simple Web form; the system then enforces a pre-arranged workflow to have the form approved by the authorised signatories for that client (both internal and external). Notified by e-mail, the signatories sign the approval via a secure website using non-forgeable digital certificates. When complete, the cash movement instruction is automatically forwarded to the relevant bank and archived in a tamperproof vault.
