ARCOT SYSTEMS AND ADOBE WORK ON DIGITAL SIGNING

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Arcot Systems Inc. has collaborated with San Jose, Calif.-based Adobe Systems Inc. to create a new option for digital signing in Adobe Acrobat software and Adobe Reader software using "Roaming Digital IDs."

Adobe embedded Arcot patented technologies in those applications, laying the framework for secure digital signing without the need for additional software or hardware.

The Roaming Digital ID is stored in the Arcot SignFort server and accessed directly from Acrobat or Adobe Reader. That enables users to sign a document digitally from home, work or on the road. Arcot's ArcotID "software smart card" provides two-factor authentication of the user, and it controls access to the digital ID, verifying that only the authorized person is signing.

Designed to withstand the rigors of mobile computing applications, the S3750THS provides multiple interface options, making it a model of flexibility.

The S3750THS features an easy-to-use operator interface and automatic thermal print contrast control, to produce high-speed, high-resolution print-outs, according to Extech.

The S3750THS is MS-DOS and Windows compatible with a full-speed handshake and a microprocessor with a flash-based integrated CPU memory to add logos, bar codes and other graphic elements to the receipt. The system has a highly integrated circuit board to manage all features supported by the printer.
