Signotec Kappa Description

Introducing the Kappa LCD Signature Pad, designed specifically for applications requiring precise capture of both handwritten signatures and fingerprints, making it ideal for secure processes at point-of-sale (POS) locations. Developed by signotec, the Kappa is a hybrid device seamlessly integrating a signature pad with a fingerprint sensor. Its compact dimensions of 175 x 194 x 30 mm set new standards in hybrid functionality.

Utilizing the same high-quality sensor as the Sigma, the Kappa ensures seamless capture of even large signatures without reaching the sensor’s limit, essential for realistic signature capture. Additionally, the Kappa allows for the display of extensive text information. The integrated fingerprint sensor, provided by the reputable manufacturer Futronic, can be independently controlled, facilitating high-resolution fingerprint capture. Remarkably, despite combining two devices, only a single USB port is required, enhancing convenience and versatility.

RSA-Security Features Of Signotec Signotec Kappa

The signature pads, including those equipped with Omega firmware 1.25 and Sigma 1.16, feature the most robust security mechanisms available, ensuring the establishment of a comprehensive chain of evidence in case of disputes. Depending on the integration, a variety of techniques are employed:

• PDF documents can be signed inside the pad and not in the insecure environment of the PC.
• The biometric data of the signature can be RSA-encrypted inside the pad using a public key.
• RSA-signature of the displayed content and signature.
• Upon delivery, each pad has a separate and unique RSA certificate for signing.
• Storing of custom RSA-certificates inside the pad.
• The pad can generate a RSA certificate.
• Supported schemes are RSA PKCS # 1 v1.5 (with or without the hash OID), PKCS # 1 v2.1
• Certificates can be certified by a Root Authority
• Supported hash algorithms are SHA-1, SHA-256 and SHA-512.
