Signix Background
SIGNiX uses a specific type of electronic signature known as a “digital” signature. Digital signatures take the concept of traditional paper-based signing and turns it into an electronic fingerprint. This coded message is unique to both the document and to the signer, and it binds both of them together. Digital signatures use identity authentication methods to prove the identity of each signer. Each digitally signed document is also protected against tampering and forgery with a tamper-evident seal. With digital signatures, organizations can rest easy with the best in security, accountability and non-repudiation.
Enabling Signix
Enterprise customers who build their application on the Quik! Forms Engine often want the ability to e-sign forms from directly within their own application and environment. To make this possible, the QuikESignTransport web service was developed to handle communications between Quik! and SIGNiX. In order to send a Quik! Form to SIGNiX, the data and the document must be transformed by Quik! and prepared to be sent to SIGNiX. This web service handles the transmission of the form and data to and from Quik!, and then to SIGNiX, giving the customer full control over the steps and events prior to and after sending to SIGNiX.
Unlike the Quik! integration with DocuSign, this is the only way customers can submit a form to SIGNiX. Simply configure the relevant properties in the Quik! Forms Engine, and Quik! handles the back-end communication with SIGNiX APIs.
