On 2nd January, Ascertia is launching the SigningHub Winter '17 release (v7.1). It arrives with many time-saving, ease of use and security enhancements to ensure a great user experience (UX).
SigningHub Winter '17 release updates:
Enhanced signing capabilities to meet EU eIDAS Level 2 "sole control" requirements
SigningHub's Winter '17 release offers a major new capability to meet the EU eIDAS Regulation requirements for remote (server-side) signing.
Specifically, it meets the Level 2 “Sole Control” requirements which prove that a centrally held signing key was only used for signing under instruction from its owner.
To achieve this, the SigningHub iOS and Android apps have been enhanced to support a secure PKI-based protocol with the SigningHub Server to authorise the remote signing operation. The authorisation PKI key pair is stored in the secure hardware element of the user’s mobile device.
Improved authentication
- SigningHub login interface has been enhanced to allow the use of OTP via SMS as an additional two factor authentication method for login as an alternative to the use of SAML-based external Identity Providers (IPs)
- SigningHub login now also supports user authentication via Google and LinkedIn credentials, additional web-based identity providers will be supported in future releases
