Digital Signature Smart Card Aruba CNS

Openapi is the only platform that allows more than 15 different types of digital signatures to be requested via API, including signatures with physical devices (e.g. USB and smart cards), remote signatures, devices with or without CNSs, and video recognition identification possibilities.

On Openapi it is also possible to choose between different Certification Authorities such as InfoCert or Aruba, without minimum purchase commitment or obligations to specific brands.

With Openapi's Signature API, other types of signatures such as simple electronic signature (with OTP) and qualified signature can be requested.

Smart Card Aruba

Smart Card is a type of Aruba digital signature in the shape of a credit card, compatible with most popular smart card readers. There are two versions of the Smart Card:

Thanks to the CNS certificate, it is possible to access all PA portals in seconds and in secure mode.

Smart Card allows digital signatures to be affixed to any electronic document (such as financial statements and company deeds, invoices, notifications, public register forms, contracts) with legal validity throughout Europe and is the ideal solution for computer users from a fixed location.

With the purchase of the Smart Card Signature Device are included:

Response Signature List and Code

GET /prodotti

The response offers the complete list of all available signatures with name, type (e.g. InfoCert or Aruba), code and price. This list does not include electronic signatures not belonging to the Digital Signature type (e.g. Simple Electronic Signature), for which there are dedicated endpoints. For some products, it will also be indicated whether it is a 'blank' signature, in which case no signature certificates will be issued.

Response Smart Card Aruba

POST richiesta/{codice_prodotto}

The response contains all the information and the id of the request, e.g. in our case it will be 5f7ef1e83a716836d3152662. The request id is indispensable because it allows to check the status of the request, download and possibly send the Signature registration form.

The form can be downloaded via the endpoint GET /richiesta/{id}/modulo.

Request Completion

In order for the certificates to be issued and the device to be processed, it is necessary for the requester to complete the identification process.

This can be done in various ways. In the case the applicant:

The video recognition option simplifies this process by automating the entire identification process through a simple call with an operator, which can be done from any device.

You can check the status of signature processing at any time via the endpoint GET /richiesta/{id}

In the response, when the status has changed to processed, it will be possible to access the tracking code of the shipment, the envelope number, the device identification number and the first 4 PIN AND PUK numbers. The remaining numbers will instead be sent directly to the email of the requester by the Certification Authority Aruba.

In addition, 'Virgin' Smart Cards can also be requested via the API Digital Signature. This is the case, for example, with RAO customers who can issue signature certificates themselves and only need to purchase batches of devices (CNSs).

The Smart Card CNS service via API is ideal for companies and organisations wishing to offer their customers a secure, certified signature that can be used by individuals with their own credentials both to sign any digital document and to access public administration services thanks to the CNS (National Services Card) option.
