E-signature generation

Once the Digipass authenticator is activated, the Digipass SDK can generate e-signatures that are compliant with the OneSpan e-signatures verification components:

Each Digipass instanceClosed The association of a unique Digipass key, serial number, sequence number, a static vector, and a Digipass secret. using a static vectorClosed The Digipass parameter set, i.e. customer-specific binary configuration data. It contains the Digipass serial number prefix, the customer master key and the parameter settings of the cryptographic application(s). It can be provided independently in clear text format, or as part of the FAD. See also Customer master key; FAD. version 8 supports up to eight cryptographic applications that can be used to generate e-signatures. Each cryptographic application can sign max. 8 data fields with either

  • up to 16 hexadecimal characters, or
  • up to 8 alphanumeric characters.

The number and size of the data fields supported by an application are defined in the Digipass static vector.

Lowercase characters are automatically converted into uppercase before the signature is processed.

ABcdEF, abcdef, and ABCDEF will produce the same response if used as entry of a data field.
