The Infrastructure of Trust
Cryptographic signing, evidence vaulting, and policy orchestration — deployed on your hardware, governed by your rules, defensible for decades.
The Problem
Institutions need a control plane for trust, not a rented signing endpoint.
Renting Trust
Cloud signing vendors often hold the keys, the evidence, and the operational boundary. That means your signature depends on someone else’s infrastructure, controls, and incident response.
Building Blind
Banks that attempt PKI in-house discover a deep stack of specialist work: ASN.1 encoding, HSM session behavior, validation, archival, and policy enforcement. The complexity is real before the first signature is produced.
Evidence Gaps
A signed PDF is not enough on its own. Without a sealed evidence package, you do not have durable proof of policy, custody, timestamping, and validation lineage.
SignOrc is not a cloud signing service. It is trust infrastructure software that runs inside your data center, connects to your HSM, and produces court-defensible signatures with immutable evidence.
The control plane orchestrates policy, workflow, and validation. The trust core handles cryptographic custody. The evidence vault preserves every receipt needed for long-term verification.
How It Works
Every step is bounded, measurable, and designed for low-latency evidence production.
Policy Evaluation
ABAC-RBAC rules establish who may sign, under which workflow, and with what approval posture.
SCAL2 Activation
Signer intent is cryptographically bound to the transaction before the HSM is engaged.
Document Preparation
ByteRange planning and hash lineage are computed before the document reaches the signer.
HSM Signing
PKCS#11-bound signing keeps keys inside hardware while hot sessions preserve low latency.
Timestamp & Validate
RFC 3161 timestamps and OCSP or CRL checks establish the verification picture at signing time.
Evidence Sealing
WORM storage and hash-chained audit records turn the job into a durable evidence package.
Visible cryptographic core latency: under 1000ms
The Vault
Keys
Your HSM. Your ceremony. Your custody.
Evidence
Sealed packages with hash lineage, legal hold, and long-term archival.
Audit
Append-only hash chain. Tamper-evident by design.
Architecture
Same trust plane runs shared, dedicated, hybrid, or on-prem. No code forks,no boundary drift.
Same Codebase Across Every Profile
One codebase, four deployment profiles, no feature forks.
Shared SaaS
For pilots and controlled entry use cases where rapid evaluation matters most.
Dedicated Private
For compliance-sensitive deployments where isolation, auditability, and steady-state control matter.
Hybrid
For data residency and phased adoption where control plane and evidence plane are separated deliberately.
On-Prem / Air-Gapped
For maximum sovereignty in regulated or national infrastructure environments.
Trust & Compliance
Standards are credentials, not adjectives.
Comparison
A quiet comparison of the common patterns institutions outgrow.
Who It Is For
Different operating models, one trust core.
Banks & MFIs
Core banking integration, unattended signing, and NBE-aligned audit trails for high-volume financial operations.
Government
Air-gapped deployment, national CA infrastructure, and e-procurement readiness for sovereign environments.
Enterprises
Dedicated private cloud, ERP integration, and legal hold support for institutions with durable evidentiary requirements.
Enterprise Integration
Your infrastructure does not stand alone. It commands what you already own.
Connected to your architecture. Governed by your controls.
SignOrc is built to fit into enterprise architecture already deployed across banks and governments. It does not replace your identity stack, duplicate your workflow tools, or force operators into a separate control surface.
The trust core integrates with your systems of record, your incident operations and your line-of-business platforms while preserving a single audit chain.
Identity Federation
OIDC. SAML. Keycloak. Your IdP, your rules.
Authentication starts at your boundary, not inside SignOrc. Identity assertions from Azure AD, national eID gateways, or on-prem identity providers are mapped to tenant-scoped authorization and enforced through ABAC-on-RBAC decisions, without storing user passwords or duplicating your directory.
ITSM Integration
ServiceNow. BMC. Custom ITSM. Events flow both ways.
Signing failures, certificate expiry alerts, and evidence export completions are emitted as structured events into your incident process. Inbound ITSM change tickets can drive policy updates or controlled break-glass approvals, so trust operations follow the same change discipline as production systems.
CMDB Integration
Configuration truth lives in your system of record.
HSM pools, TSA endpoints, certificate profiles, and deployment topology are synchronized as configuration items and relationships to your CMDB. Your operations teams keep one source of truth across infrastructure, trust services, and evidence systems.
Partner Adapters
ERP. Core banking. Government gateways. Connected, not coupled.
SAP, Oracle, Temenos T24, Odoo, and public-sector gateways connect through bounded adapters that translate enterprise workflows into trust orchestration. Adapters carry mTLS identity, enforce source policy envelopes, and return evidence to your audit chain without custom glue code in core systems.
Verifiable in 2034. Without our API.
Evidence is treated as a first-class product artifact. The package can be re-verified long after the signing transaction has left the operational system.
Post-Quantum Readiness
Built to adapt when the standards do.
The signatures you create today must remain defensible in 2040.
Quantum computing will not invalidate today's signature schemes overnight. But evidence systems are judged over decades, not quarters, so the migration path must be ready before the standards fully converge.
SignOrc is designed for that transition. Policy stays algorithm-agnostic, integration stays capability-driven, and archived evidence remains anchored under the trust conditions that existed at signing time.
Policy Agility
Signing rules can evolve as regulators define post-quantum requirements, without forcing a redesign of the trust core.
Hardware Flexibility
Vendor-neutral by design. Your cryptographic policy governs which mechanisms are permitted, independent of HSM firmware or vendor.
Archival Anchoring
Every signature is time-bound and preserved with validation evidence so future review can prove what was trusted, when it was trusted, and why.
We monitor the transition, we prepare the architecture, and we only ship what is ready.
