In today's rapidly evolving digital world, the need for robust and tailored security solutions is more crucial than ever. Recognizing this need, we are thrilled to announce a game-changing feature to emSigner: BYOK (Bring Your Own Keys). This feature allows you to maintain complete control over your keys, ensuring that they remain entirely in your hands.

What is BYOK?

BYOK, or Bring Your Own Keys, is a feature that permits users to import or generate their encryption keys in their cloud environment, rather than relying on the default keys provided by the service provider. This gives users an additional layer of control, ensuring that they are the sole custodians of their keys.

emSigner's BYOK Feature: A Deep Dive

With the integration of the BYOK feature, emSigner has made it possible for administrators to configure a new VAS setting. This setting enables remote signing using certificates sourced from both emSign and the Azure key vault.

Here's a closer look at the functionality:

  • Remote Signing Capability: This feature empowers users to sign documents remotely using certificates from emSign and Azure key vault. This means that whether you are working from the office, home, or on-the-go, your document signing process remains uninterrupted.
  • Simple Setup: Setting up the VAS is a breeze. All you need to do is enter the client ID, key ID, and access key. The intuitive interface ensures that even those without a technical background can get things up and running in no time.
  • Versatile Certificate Integration: emSigner's BYOK feature is designed to cater to a diverse user base. Whether you are an individual or represent an organization, you can add your certificates as part of the setting.
  • Pin Protection: Security is paramount. To ensure that the BYOK feature remains foolproof, pin protection has been integrated. This extra layer of security ensures that only authorized individuals can access the feature.
  • Inclusive User Access: The beauty of this update is its inclusivity. Whether you are an internal user or an external user affiliated with an organization, you can avail of the benefits of this feature.

With this feature, you are not just relying on the security provisions of the service provider; you are actively participating in safeguarding your data. By being the sole custodian of your keys, you mitigate risks and ensure that your sensitive information remains uncompromised.
