Openapi launches the new Advanced Electronic Signature with OTP API

Signing a document often still requires too many steps: printing, scanning, emailing and manual processes that slow down activities and make document management more complex.

For this reason, Openapi is expanding its API Trust solutions catalog with the new Advanced Electronic Signature with OTP API (AES): a service that allows you to integrate a secure, traceable and easy-to-use digital signing process directly into your systems.

What is an Advanced Electronic Signature with OTP and why is it important?

The Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) makes it possible to uniquely link a signature to its signer, providing greater security and evidentiary value compared to a simple electronic signature.

With Openapi's API, the signing process is completed through an OTP (One-Time Password) sent via SMS to the signer's phone number. This makes it possible to verify the signer's identity and complete the signing process entirely online, without the need to print or physically manage documents.

The solution is designed in compliance with the eIDAS Regulation, ETSI standards and GDPR and records information related to the signing process through an audit trail, ensuring traceability and enhanced security.

The value for your business

• Greater security. OTP authentication helps verify the signer and adds an additional layer of security to the signing process.
• Evidentiary value. The Advanced Electronic Signature provides greater guarantees than a simple electronic signature and makes it possible to uniquely link the signature to the signer.
• Fully digital processes. Eliminate printing, scanning and manual document management by integrating signing directly into business processes and digital platforms.
• Simple user experience. The signer can view the document, complete the OTP authentication process and sign online in just a few steps.
• Flexibility. The API allows you to manage one or more signers and customize various elements of the process, such as the signature type and placement.

How it works with Openapi

Integration is simple: through the API, you can send the document to be signed together with the signer's details and the information required to configure the signing process.

The API generates a personalized link to the signing platform, through which the signer can view the document, complete OTP authentication and apply their signature.

The process can be configured according to the needs of your application:

• You can choose between typed or drawn signatures
• You can define the position of the signature within the document
• You can manage one or more signers
• You can customize the layout of the signing interface
• You can receive updates on the status of the request via callback

It is also possible to use an identification process with liveness to further increase the security level of signer identification.

The new AES with OTP API is part of the Openapi API Trust Suite: a set of solutions designed to integrate verification, identification and digital signing services directly into your systems.
