Press Release Body = E-Lock Solutions now allow documents in PDF format to be signed
and encrypted natively, without having Adobe Acrobat. This feature enables users and
organizations to send invoices, credit card or bank transaction statements, purchase
orders and other reports in PDF format with the assurance that only the genuine
recipients would be able to read them. The recipients are also assured of the
authenticity of the document.

The E-Lock solutions do not need Adobe Acrobat to sign and encrypt the PDF
documents. They help automate the signing and encryption process and can do it
without any user intervention. E-Lock solutions provide a lot of added features
along with the PDF document signing facility.
The PDF documents are signed in an embedded fashion, in a way that is compatible
with how Adobe Acrobat signs them. There are several features accompanying this
facility. While signing, a visual representation of the signature can be embedded in
the document. The user can select the placement of signature in the document in
terms of the page and the location on the page. For example, the signature can be
placed at the top-right corner of the first page or at bottom-right on the last
page. The user can display scanned handwritten signature or a logo inside the
digital signature on the PDF document. The visual signature can also incorporate the
reason for signing, time of signing, and location. The time of signing can be taken
from the local machine clock or can use third party time stamp server.
The E-Lock solutions allow signing with certificates from a variety of locations
such as certificate installed in IE or Netscape family of browsers, PFX / P12 files,
smart cards or hardware tokens.

The PDF documents signed using E Lock digital signatures do not need any specific
verification software. They allow the document recipients to verify the signatures
using free Adobe reader (version 6 and above).

The PDF files can be encrypted using password of users choice for maintaining
confidentiality. As with signed files, the encrypted files do not require any third
party software for decryption. When the file is opened in Adobe Reader, the user is
prompted for the password. The file can be opened only if the correct password is
supplied.

The key features that make for a very easy deployment of signing and encryption into
Business to Consumer (B2C) applications in verticals like banking, finance,
insurance etc. are
Signing and encryption can be done without using Adobe Acrobat
Signing and encryption can be done in automated fashion without any user intervention
The encrypted files can be opened and signatures verified with Adobe Reader, without
needing any third party software
