hm…I think this topic relates to specific countries. We here are having special code signage with CryptoCard…which means no PGP/GPG 
Oh which countries? Is there spec for this ? Maybe someone would have written a python library for this…
Thanks for the answers.
I wasn’t much clear, sorry. Let me clarify it:
Generally, the definition of digital signature includes a cryptographic key that uniquely identifies the person that has signed.
On the other hand, an electronic signature is just the image of the signature on the documented., without necessarily having a proof about the person that signed
Some countries require a digital signature to make a document legally valid.
However, at this moment, I would like to have just an electronic signature on ERPNext.
That is, when I would generate a, let’s say, sales invoice, there would be a place for the user to write down the signature (using ERPNext on a mobile phone and having the proper pen) and it would be included in the generated PDF.
So, basically, I need to collect the signature (using html5, php or anything that enables the user to “draw”) and put it on the PDF.
Any ideas about how to achieve that? How complex would be doing that?
Thanks!
It is from Austria.
But basically we have no need to sign invoices for customers…we only have to sign our invoices when we are raising them against an institution that belongs to Austria itself.
But we are actually having the following workflow:
Create a PDF → Import in Adobe Acrobat → Use the function to “sign” the PDF.
Austrian companies “should” use this:
We are using SignEasy from there
It just works like a charm and we are really enthusiastic about it!

@rmehta, thanks, the problem is that I wasn’t clear enough. I would like to generate the signature when visiting the client (see my previous post please)
@pdvyas, that would be nice in the future, for now I think that just generating the and embedding it on the PDF is enough (I wrote the details on my previous post).
@daniel, this app looks really nice. Do you have plans to integrate something like this in the ERPNext itself?
@daniel Are you still working on that integration for RKSV Compatibility?
If you are interested to work on that we could set up a project for Netidee and apply for some funding.
At fairkom.eu we have some experience with netidee projects and would be interested to work together.
Are you using this integrated with ERPNext?
I mean, when a Approve some document, and choose print view, it can be autenticated?
Hi,
anyone using POS with RKSV in Austria?

Has somebody already deal with it? With some of these services (PdfSigning - CAcert Wiki 3) or something similar?
It would be awesome to have, as it can end with a lot of paper!!
EDIT: Maybe someone can try https://www.signserver.org/?? It seams to have a great feat…
Still searching for a solution
We are also looking for a solution, we are open to funding it or even committing developmental resources towards embedded e-signatures. I have my eyes on this project right now to use for it: GitHub - documenso/documenso: The Open Source DocuSign Alternative.
The workflow we desire is to never have to leave ERPNext for the contract generation and client signature process.
We are new to the community but are intending on diving right into adding features we need. This is one of them!

Code snippet using s3 to store signatures and pyhanko to sign pdf. gist: Frappe Framework and PyHanko digital signatures · GitHub
you need to figure out that on your own or find the cheapest freelancer to get it done from the reference.
can this be used if i have a digital signature in a usb token?
For local development generate your own key GitHub - revant/python_dsc_example
For production ask client to upload their exported .pfx file to s3 through another workflow.
Thanks Revant!!
Great help!!
