Spectraforms®Supports Encryption and Digital Signatures

Use Spectraforms® to digitally encrypt and sign all of your forms and documents.  In fact, you may find Spectraforms® document management and encryption so effective, that you will use it to encrypt all of your sensitive information even if forms are not included.

Encryption:

Did you know that information in most unencrypted files can be read in Microsoft Notepad?  Spectraforms® allows you to encrypt files with password protection to provide secure form and document management.  Spectraforms® supports separate passwords to open the file with read-only access, and to modify the file. Spectraforms encryption and digital signature systems meets the requirements of government document processing. Spectraforms uses the Microsoft Windows® Encryption System (Crypto API) to provide encryption and digital signature support.

Spectraforms supports the following encryption algorithms:

  • RC2 Block
  • RC4 Stream
  • DES
  • Triple DES*
  • Triple DES 128 bit key*

*Requires Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider installed on Windows® for both encryption and decryption.

Digital Signatures:

Digital signatures ensure that the document you created remains unchanged, and tells others that you are the one that last modified the document. 

1.  Obtain a digital signature certificate from a trusted authority.

2.  Complete your Spectraforms® forms (with embedded documents), and digitally sign the file.

When others open the file, they will be notified that you have digitally signed the file.  If they make changes to the file, the signature will be revoked (to prevent others from making changes, protect the file with encryption and a password).
