When working with digital data, the validity and importance of the data cannot be understated.

If there’s any reason to believe that data entered into a system or program has been altered, or isn’t legitimate, any decision based on the data could be questioned. Because the future of your organization or business might depend upon the strength of your data, authenticity matters greatly.

Based on this, Zerion is proud to announce the release of our newest feature added to our Webhooks: Digital  Signature.

Cryptographically Secure your Data during POST

Sending your data via POST from iFormbuilder platform is not new to the users, but we now introduce a new way to cryptographically send your data to the webhooks. In this method a user upload their private key to the iFormbuilder Post configuration interface and selects a desired algorithm, from there onwards every post that is triggered from the iForm server is digitally signed and sent along with a “hook-signature”. This allows the receiving webhook to certify the data and trust the sender.

Who Benefits from Digital Signatures?

The simple answer is…... everyone!.

Digital signatures are especially important for organizations that depend on valid, authentic data that has not been tampered with. This could include, but is not limited to:

• Political organizations or those backing political candidates.
• Medical research organizations or drug companies.
• Businesses that depend on authentic field data.
• Any organization that uses data gathered online or through mobile solutions to make decisions or predictions.
• Financial organizations: banks, credit unions, financial service providers.
• Those working with or creating online contracts, and more.

Additionally, because digital signatures are a global standard, any organizations using them can be sure their data delivery is compatible with any other systems that follow this standard.
