User Reviews

  • Hi, I find the project interesting, however I can't understand it because of the interface, I can't find the functionality to place my signature on the document.
  • Works very well! LTV is supported, users need to select "Advanced view" click on: "TSA/OCSP/CRL" and activate "Enable OCSP" and "Enable CRL". Now (v2.2.0) it supports ECC signatures, I tested with NIST P-521, and is working great.
  • Excellent piece of software, small, does the job right.
  • i am using this to sign a batch of files using command line interface using a digital signature key card. Kindly do let me know if there is a way to integrate the passowrd in the command line itself.
  • A useful application for those who need to sign distance contracts or other documents.
