To create open standards for cloud-based digital signatures is the aim of an Adobe-led consortium. A new standard signature solution will raise security and acceptance of digital transactions in Europe and further afield
The aim of Adobe-led consortium is to create open standards for cloud-based digital signatures. TU Graz is the first university worldwide to be part of this. First results will be available this year. A so-called Cloud Signature Consortium has been formed around giant Adobe to create open standards for digital signatures across mobile devices and web apps. The time to develop mobile uniform standards offered by various providers to manage trust services and electronic identification is pressing. Since 1 July, the EU-wide eIDAS regulation has come into effect to regulate electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market and create a joint basis for more secure electronic interaction between natural and legal persons. The Cloud Signature Consortium expects to be able to offer standardised cloud-based specifications by the end of this year and, from 2017, to implement it internationally beyond the European single market.
