Procedure – signatures in the scanning process

In order to realize substitute scanning which is in conformity with the law and to get closer to the dream of a paperless office, you require qualified electronic signatures. You can realize this with us as your strong partner as summarized below:

1

Automated transfer of the documents from scanning to the signature components

2

Visual control in the trusted viewer (sampling inspection) of the SecArchive client during the signing process (verification of conformity: Is the scanned document a true representation of the original?)

3

Generation of the signed document (by integration of the signature into the file or with separate file and PKC7 file = attaching a transfer note)

4

Sending the signature to the SecPKI server or the signed file

5

Verification of the user (certificates) and the user´s rights by the SecPKI server

6

Verification of the signature´s validity by the SecPKI server

7

Storage of signatures and time stamps in the hash tree / long-term archive by the SecPKI server. This guarantees the validity of the signatures also in the future (legal requirements for guarantees often clearly exceed a ten year period)

8

That´s it! With this procedure you created and secured a legally binding document which is protected by a digital signature

SecArchive

We recommend to use SecArchive Client and SecPKI server for substitute scanning as SecSigner cannot realize the above mentioned scenario alone due to the missing server component. Furthermore, the viewer in SecSigner is not optimized for scanned documents.
