OpenSignature is a project for the digital
signature of documents. It works with all cards
supported by OpenSC, and focuses on adding support
for cards from accredited Italian CAs. The goal is
to provide the first single product capable of
supporting cards from multiple vendors/countries.
This contrasts the approach taken by card
vendors/providers whose software follows an
exclusive single-vendor approach. OpenSignature
attempts to make a major contribution to
interoperability in the digital signature domain,
and aims to greatly facilitate the setup of public
access points that are currently the objective of
several projects in Italy.
