ARX (Algorithmic Research Ltd.) is a digital security company headquartered in San Francisco, CA, with offices in the UK, the Netherlands, Australia and Israel. It is the creator of CoSign by ARX, a digital signature technology, along with related digital signature security technology products. ARX was acquired by DocuSign in May 2015. The acquisition〔()〕 builds on a three year business partnership between DocuSign and ARX, bringing together ARX’s CoSign digital signature technology with DocuSign's Digital Transaction Management (DTM) platform and broadens The DocuSign Global Trust Network. The ARX digital signature products are based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology, with the digital signatures resulting from a cryptographic operation that creates a ‘fingerprint’ unique to both the signer and the content, so that they cannot be copied, forged or tampered with. This process provides proof of signer identity, data integrity and the non-repudiation of signed documents, all of which can be verified without the need for proprietary verification software.〔(Legal IT Professionals Interview with Gadi Aharoni )〕 The company’s CoSign solution integrates into a large range of document management and workflow automation systems and is intended to streamline workflow processes requiring signatures.〔(Digital Signatures: What You Need to Know )〕〔(ARX CoSign Digital Signature Reviews )〕 ARX partners with document management and workflow solution providers including SharePoint,〔(Standardizing Digital Signatures in the Enterprise )〕 OpenText,〔(OpenText Partner Directory )〕 Oracle,〔(Digital Signatures and Oracle WebCenter: The Future Is Now )〕 Alfresco,〔(CoSign for Alfresco solution )〕 Nintex and K2.〔(K2-CoSign Integration )〕 Industries of focus include life science (particularly research and clinical trials〔("Please Sign Here: New Digital Tools to Combat the $21 Signature" )〕〔("Digital Signature Solution Provides Security, FDA Compliance and Annual Cost Savings of $150,000 for Medrad, Inc." )〕), engineering, legal and federal/local governments.〔(US Department of Veterans' Affairs Tools )〕 ARX clients are based in North America, Africa,〔("Pitney Bowes Introduces Groundbreaking Digital Signature Technology in South Africa" )〕 Europe〔(Digital Signatures in Sweden )〕 and Asia-Pacific. In Italy, CoSign is used by the Ministry of Defence, RAI, Senate, Court of Accounts, State Police and Bank of Italy.〔(CoSign by ARX in Italy )〕 It is also used by the European Court of Human Rights to digitize and streamline their application process.〔(European Court of Human Rights Achieves End to End Digitisation With Electronic Signatures )〕 ARX solutions have been validated for security standards such as NIST FIPS 140-2 level 3,〔(FIPS 140-2 Non-Proprietary Security Policy )〕 FIPS 186 and ETSI TS 101 733. In 2013, CoSign was named “the strongest digital signature solution” in the (Forrester Wave: E-Signatures, Q2 2013 ) report.〔(The Forrester Wave™: E-Signatures, Q2 2013 )〕 In August 2014, CoSign received Common Criteria EAL4+〔(Remote digital signature safety compliance with Common Criteria EAL4+ )〕 certification, thus becoming the first remote / server-side digital signature solution to be fully compliant with the EU’s newly enacted Electronic Identification and Trust Services regulation for Electronic Transactions in the Internal Market ((eIDAS )).〔(European Union’s Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions in the Internal Market’ (eIDAS) )〕 ARX solutions also comply with ESIGN, UETA, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, SOX, HIPAA, USDA, among many other signature-related country- and industry-specific laws and regulations.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ARX (Algorithmic Research Ltd.)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
