Success of NIH-EDUCAUSE Phase III PKI Pilot
Using Infomosaic Digital Signature Software
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS
WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2003--Infomosaic Corporation today announced that the
NIH-EDUCAUSE Phase III PKI Pilot, which uses Infomosaic's SecureSign and
SecureXML Digital Signature products, has been completed successfully.
Peter Alterman, Assistant CIO for Electronic Authentication at NIH,
said, "Using Infomosaic SecureSign and SecureXML Digital Signature
Software made it very easy and cost effective for us to achieve
interoperability as both these products are based on open W3C standards
and are extremely easy to use. Infomosaic's technology and support are
absolutely world class." President & CEO, Infomosaic
Corporation, added, "Our commitment to product quality, total customer
satisfaction and compliance with industry standards has made the
NIH-EDUCAUSE Digital Signature project a success."
In this six-month pilot a dozen U.S. universities submitted their
signed Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424) to the U.S. National
Institute of Health for processing. They used the Infomosaic SecureSign
Desktop Document Signer for filling and signing the SF-424 XML form
along with supporting documents in Word, PDF, Excel, Text and several
other formats. Each submitted application contained two signatures, one
from the requester and one from the approver of the application. The NIH
server which accepted these signed documents used Infomosaic SecureXML
Digital Signature software on its server to verify the signatures and
the validity of the signer's digital credentials or certificates. The
server then cosigned the submitted documents along with the certificate
validation records with the server's digital credentials using
SecureXML's server side signing technology, thereby making these signed
documents archivable such that the validity of the signer's certificates
could be guaranteed even 100 years later, long after the certificate
used for signing has expired, without having access to the certificate
server of the certificate issuing party. More information about this
pilot is available at
http://pki.od.nih.gov/.
Infomosaic SecureSign Desktop Document Signer provides an easy to use
graphical user interface for signing XML based forms and other file
types including Word, PDF, Excel, Access, Text and others. A free viewer
for viewing signed documents and validating signatures is available on
company's web site.
SecureXML Digital Signature allows software developers to easily add
digital signature creation and verification capabilities to their own
applications utilizing the following programming languages and
development environments: C/C++, Java, VB/VB Script, JavaScript, C#/VB.NET/ASP.NET,
ASP/JSP, Power Builder and Cold Fusion. SecureXML provides functionality
to sign web pages, forms, XML data and documents in Word, PDF, Excel,
Access, Text and other formats.
