Aloaha CustomSigner Plugin
All Aloaha Signature Tools such as the Aloaha PDF Suite, Aloaha PDF Saver and Aloaha PDF Signator support access to certificates via the Microsoft CSP (Crypto Service Provider) Interface. A broad range of Signature Cards are supported native. Native supported cards to not require a CSP or PKCS module to be used with Aloaha. The list of advantages of native supported cards is long. In general the signature performance is higher and PINs can be cached to make an ordinary signature card mass signature capable.
Additional Aloaha introduced the CustomSigner Plugin interface to allow system integrators to connect their PKI/CSPs/card drivers directly to Aloaha.
The structure of the Aloaha CustomeSigner Plugin is pretty simple. It should be an automation compatible COM Object with 5 functions:
- set_Hwnd
- get_certificate
- get_issuer_certificate
- info
- sign
As soon a custom signer plugin has been registered in Aloaha with a simple registry key Aloaha will use that plugin to create the signatures.
