Thomas, Re: The real signing implementation is closed source, but if i got some time, i can explane how it work with BouncyCastle for simple signatures.
If you have the time, I would very much appreciate this. I'm working with a partner on a startup where digital signatures would be an add-on to the core functionality -- but a very desirable add-on. We've looked at the commercial services available in the U.S. (e.g. DocuSign) and have talked to them, but we haven't made any plans yet about what we will do. We're experienced programmers, and we've built our core functionality using PDFBox. But we're really just learning about digital signatures, so any help you can give us to understand what is needed would great! Needless to say, we hope there is something we can do to help you in return. Regards, Ken On Nov 26, 2010, at 8:48 AM, Thomas Chojecki wrote: > Hi Ken, > there is no specification.
