Digital Signature Services 2007-06-16 Data The Digital Signature Services (DSS) specifications describe two XML-based request/response protocols – a signing protocol and a verifying protocol. DSS supports implementation of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN, Pub.L. 106-229, 14 Stat. 464, enacted 2000-06-30, 15 U.S.C. ch.96) Through the DSS protocols a client can send documents to a server and receive back a signature on the documents; or send documents and a signature to a server, and receive back an answer on whether the signature verifies the documents.
