Workflow Signing
Secure and flexible signing built into your solution
Workflow Signing is Signaturgruppen’s solution for electronically signing PDF documents, a part of the Signaturgruppen Broker platform. The solution is based on APIs and OpenID Connect and supports signing workflows involving one or more documents and one or more signatories.
Workflow Signing is designed for integration into your own solutions, enabling signing to be handled in a structured, secure and verifiable manner without requiring you to implement signing functionality, certificates/trust infrastructure yourselves.
Flexible signing workflows
Workflow Signing supports dynamic signing workflows involving one or more documents and signatories. Your integrated solution defines the workflow, signing order and participants according to your requirements.
Authentication-based signing
Signing is initiated following successful authentication through Signaturgruppen Broker.
The solution supports MitID, MitID Business and other eID solutions available through the broker.
Verifiable signing
The result can be provided as a sealed PAdES document or as a workflow token (JWT).
Both formats contain cryptographic proof of signatures, timestamps and integrity.
Built for integration
Workflow signing is provided as a dedicated API for integration into your existing systems.
You control the workflow, while Signaturgruppen provides the signing functionality through our broker.
ELECTRONIC SIGNING
What is Workflow Signing?
Workflow signing is Signaturgruppen’s electronic signing solution, where the signing functionality forms part of a workflow controlled by your integration. You define the documents, signatories and signing order, while the signing itself is completed through Signaturgruppen Broker.
Security and documentation
Signing can be completed using personal MitID or MitID Business. Once a workflow has been completed, the result can be provided as a sealed PAdES document suitable for long-term preservation or as a signed workflow token (JWT) for storage in your systems.
Integration and technology
Workflow signing is integrated through APIs and OpenID Connect and serves as a technical building block within your existing systems. Your service controls the workflow and business logic, while Signaturgruppen provides secure and verifiable signing.
