Aloaha Digital Signature API

The Aloaha PDF Digital Signature API can be used to apply programmatically digital signatures to your existing PDF Documents. Please note that an Enterprise License is required to use the native Signature APIs.

The Aloaha PDF Signature API supports all digital Certificates accessible via Windows Crypto Service Provider (CSP). SmartCards obviously included.

Not every SmartCard is being sold with a CSP. For some of these Cards without CSP Aloaha Software is able to supply native support. Aloaha will access these cards directly so that no special driver is required. Native supported cards are the ideal solution for batch signatures and mass signing of existing PDF Documents such as electronic invoices.

Sample code can be seen in the Software Development section of this website. Please note that in case of native supported cards the uniquecontainername has to be set to “0” for the first card reader.

Aloaha Custom Signer Plugin Interface

Additional to Smartcard, CSP and Software Certificate support it is possible to create a plugin for Aloaha which calculates the digital Signature. This is an interesting feature for enterprises which do not allow to access smartcards or certificates via CSP. As soon a Plug-In is registered in Aloaha the Signature Engine of Aloaha will pass the Hash to the Plug-In and expects the PKCS#1 delivered back by the plug-in. Sample source code is available at our support department.

Supported SmartCards

All SmartCards accessible via Microsoft Crypto Service Provider can be used together with Aloaha.

Additional Aloaha supports a variety of SmartCards native. That means that no CSP is required for these Cards.
Very popular SmartCards currently supported native are the T-Systems Telesec, the SparkassenCard, the new German Health Card and a couple of national e-ID Cards.

Please contact our support if you wish you card supported natively.
