Yes. You will need to install the Personal Certificate Client software, which creates a communication link between your computer and smart card reader. If the latest version is not installed on your computer, you will be prompted to do so.

Most smart cards and tokens issued by government agencies and certificate authorities (CA) require a PIN or password. If that is the case, you will be prompted to enter the designated PIN or password to complete the signing process.

After successfully e-signing a document with a smart card or token, a secure, tamper-sealed PDF with a comprehensive audit trail is embedded directly into the document showing encryption type, who signed, in what order, when, where and which certificate was used to sign the document. This information is also available in the Evidence Summary Report.

OneSpan Sign will only ask for your smart card/PIN when you e-sign the final signature location of a document. You will be prompted to confirm all your signature(s) in the document to complete the signing process.

It depends. The Sender of the transaction can decide if they require the use of a smart card/token or not. Note that in most agencies, employees are usually required to sign with their smart cards.

• In compliance with Special Publication 800-63-2 “Electronic Authentication Guideline”, supplements OMB M-04-04, which defines four levels of assurance, Levels 1 to 4, in terms of the consequences of authentication errors and misuse of credentials. Level 1 is the lowest assurance level, and Level 4 is the highest.
• Level 4 is intended to provide the highest practical remote network authentication assurance. This authentication level is based on proof of possession of a key through a cryptographic protocol. At this level, in-person identity proofing is required. Level 4 is similar to Level 3 except that only “hard” cryptographic tokens are allowed.
