Introduction

The CryptoApplet is a multiplatform component and it is supported by various Operating Systems (Windows, Mac OS and GNU / Linux), for the creation of advanced electronic signatures in multiple formats (e-invoice, XAdES, XAdES-T, XAdES-X-L (Digidoc), PDF, XMLDsig, CMS/PCKS#7, ...).

Since it is an applet written in Java, it works for all existing web browsers: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, Chrome, .... It works totally on the client side and does not require any previous installation. 

It is capable of reading the user's digital certificates from the CryptoAPI in Windows, from containers PKCS # 11 or PKCS # 12 in Firefox or other browsers, or from the Apple Keychain. 

It is also independent from Certification Service Providers (CSP) elected: Mint, ACCV, CatCert, .... since it is able to operate with all digital certificates. 

It also has support for Time Stamping Authorities (TSA) and for the revocation of certificates by means of OCSP. 

The Cryptoapplet was released by the University of "Jaume I" with a license GPLv2. Nowadays, it does not exist any software in neither the propriety software market nor the Free Software market, with such power and ease of use. An added value of Sofistic is that it includes in its staff one of the developers of the CryptoApplet, therefore it is much easier for us to make adjustments or extensions to the source code of the application. In addition, Sofistic keeps adding value to the product, for instance by incorporating support for the implementation of the e-invoice format. 

It supports simple electronic signature, electronic countersign, ...
