ARX's CoSign® system provides non-forgeable digital signatures to users of Adobe Acrobat and Reader® software. Signing and sealing documents with CoSign expedites business processes, reduces costs, increases security, and helps organizations comply with regulations. CoSign signatures are based on trusted PKI technology, guaranteeing signer authenticity, data integrity, and non-repudiation of electronic transactions.
The system includes a secure server appliance that integrates seamlessly into any company's internal user management system (for example, Active Directory, NDS, Oracle OID, and so on) or database of external clients, suppliers, or business partners. CoSign also works with the broadest array of user authentication schemes including username-password, Kerberos, RADIUS, one-time password devices, and biometrics challenges.
The system is designed for intranets and B2B and B2C business processes in which there is a requirement for zero technology footprint on the client for external signers. Since CoSign signatures also comply with standard PKIs, there is no requirement (for ARX technology) to verify signed documents, other than possession of the signed document itself and Adobe Reader 6.0 or later.
With CoSign, multiple users can easily sign a single PDF document. Furthermore, CoSign allows organizations to sign batches of PDF documents without individual intervention.
CoSign signatures comply with U.S. and EU electronic signature regulations, including the FDA Title 21 CFR Part 11 and HIPAA.

Arcot Systems, Inc., has collaborated with Adobe to enable a new option for digital signing in Acrobat 8 and Reader 8 using easy-to-use Roaming Digital IDs. Adobe has embedded Arcot patented technologies into these applications, laying the framework for secure digital signing anywhere, anytime without the need for additional software or hardware. The Roaming Digital ID is securely stored in the Arcot SignFort server and directly accessed from Acrobat or Reader. Arcot's patented ArcotID software smart card provides strong two-factor authentication of the user and controls access to the digital ID, verifying that only the authorized person is signing. SignFort also logs every time a document is signed and provides a complete audit trail for nonrepudiation. This capability helps companies comply with regulatory requirements.
Arcot also offers a plug-in for Acrobat and Reader that contains the following features:
- Acts as a plug-in within Acrobat and Reader to sign, encrypt, and decrypt documents using PKI and X.509 digital certificates
- Enables Identrus-compliant signature verification and certificate validation
Arcot's solution can be used along with Acrobat to restrict which users can view, edit, and print PDF documents. With the Arcot plug-in for Acrobat, each user is issued a private key. The private key can be protected using the ArcotID software smart card or a hardware smart card. Users choose a PIN that is used along with the private key to uniquely identify them. This solution enhances the security of the document and ensures that only the authorized user can view, edit, and print the document.

The DocuRights (DRM solution is designed specifically to meet the needs of scientific, technical, and medical (STM) publishers. DocuRights facilitates STM publishers' migration to new business models by enabling the distribution of PDF files in peer-to-peer networks without loss of control.
Content presentation and distribution
Documents protected and distributed with DocuRights are prepared and delivered electronically as secure PDF page image files. Unlike typical browser-based content, PDF files retain the original print page esthetics and desirable readability characteristics. The PDF file can be requested from a web page that presents either an abstract of the article or the complete article in an interactive, browsable format. Before the PDF file is transmitted, the DocuRights server:
- Authenticates and identifies the requesting user, if the user is a bona fide subscriber
- Alternatively solicits an e-commerce transaction payment from the user, which is processed and validated in real time
- Lets the user select the PDF file quality, size, and download time that best suits the user's Internet connection speed
- Packages the PDF file in a secure, encrypted "wrapper," which can only be opened with the document key — the user's subscription or purchase identity
- Inserts into the margin of the document a legend identifying the document key (the user's confidential and valuable subscription or purchase identity), along with a publisher-defined message cautioning against unauthorized disclosure of the document key

The widespread reach of electronic documents demands a focus on security. Unprotected documents lack access control and authenticity, creating issues with privacy, intellectual property, copyrights, and transactional uncertainty. Acrobat is used worldwide by organizations that need to package and exchange electronic documents with Adobe PDF. Acrobat is certified as interoperable with RSA Keon software, which issues, manages, and validates the end-user certificates that underlie digital signatures and public key encryption. In instances where greater security is required, the issued certificate can be stored on an RSA Keon Web PassPort Virtual Card, the RSA SecurID USB Token solution, or RSA SecurID Passage smart card software. Additionally, Adobe utilizes RSA BSAFE encryption software to help ensure privacy and confidentiality in the Acrobat product.
Electronic signature support
Acrobat 6.0 and 7.0 are designed to fully support RSA Keon digital signature and certificate technologies, which are used to authenticate the author of an electronic document and protect such documents from unauthorized access or modifications. To digitally sign and/or encrypt a document with RSA Keon–issued digital certificates, the user simply obtains a digital ID — a file that contains the signature information that can be shared with other users in a certificate, with both a private key and digital certificate — directly from RSA Keon software and then sets up the digital ID settings. Utilizing the digital ID, the user can sign and/or encrypt documents, verify signatures, and manage trusted communications. Unlike most other electronic document formats, the security of an Adobe PDF document is linked to the file itself, and the digital signatures travel with the PDF document to provide ongoing assurance of authenticity and integrity.

The digital certificate is stored on the device and is used only when an electronic signature is required. When the application calls for an electronic signature, the owner simply inserts the iKey into the USB port and types an easy-to-remember PIN, much like at an ATM, for added security. Only at this time is the electronic signature exposed to the application.

Vincera Intelligent Protection (VIP)
Vincera delivers document threading, data loss prevention, and threshold-based access security management in one solution. With automated conversion of over 300 file types to Adobe PDF, VIP utilizes a business-friendly interface for associating business rules and distribution thresholds with security policies to provide persistent access security, preventing loss of data. Via VIP's unique document thread process, documents are fingerprinted, digitally watermarked per document thread, and persistently encrypted throughout the distribution lifecycle. At every desktop, VIP teams with Acrobat to leverage the user experience and help ensure distribution security. And VIP can interface with Adobe LiveCycle Rights Management ES software to provide unprecedented security management for both rights-based and threshold-based distribution of sensitive information throughout the distribution lifecycle.
