Document Signing and Access Control with Avoco Secure Information Cards

Sandy Porter of Avoco Secure recently let me know that their secure2trust document security product now supports both document signing and document access control using managed Information Cards. The cards and the Avoco software enable perimeterless, secured access to documents and online web form signing.

Avoco has hosted an instance of their Identity Provider and sample document signing and document access control scenarios online, so people can give it a try now. Using the “Create an ID” tab at https://www.secure2cardspace.com/ to create a card, and then following the instructions at the “Securing with Identity” tab, I was able to obtain a document a document that can only be opened by using the card I created.

When I open this doc (in my case, “Mike Jones.docx”), CardSpace is launched. When I submit my card, access control is granted and the document shown below is opened.

For more information, see the page “Create and Manage your own Digital Identities with Avoco Secure’s Identity Provider“, their https://www.secure2cardspace.com/ demo site, and also try document signing using your Avoco Secure managed card at http://www.secure2signonline.com/.
