Artigor Signer PKI — PKI-Based Digital Signing Solution
Artigor Signer PKI is a PKI-based digital signing solution that enables secure, local digital signing of PDF documents via RESTful APIs. Designed for organizations requiring high-security document signing workflows, it supports HSM (Hardware Security Module), USB tokens, and cloud-based certificates.
Fully compliant with IT Act 2000 and eSign standards, Artigor Signer PKI provides cryptographic assurance, non-repudiation, and tamper-proof digital signatures — all within your local infrastructure.
Overview
Artigor Signer PKI allows applications to digitally sign PDF documents using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificates stored in HSMs, USB tokens, or secure key stores. The solution exposes secure REST APIs that can be integrated into web applications, backend systems, ERP, HRMS, or document management platforms.
Unlike cloud-based eSign gateways, Artigor Signer PKI operates entirely on-premises, ensuring full control over private keys, compliance with data localization policies, and reduced dependency on third-party services.
