Adobe® LiveCycle™ Document Security software enables organizations to digitally sign, encrypt, and decrypt sensitive documents on the server, so that they can confidently bring more paper-based processes online. With standards-based PKI encryption and digital signatures automatically applied to each document, enterprises gain greater assurance of a document's authenticity, integrity, and privacy, thereby increasing productivity and customer satisfaction.

Thales Luna hardware security module provides industry-based best practices hardware to enhance protection of the signing and encryption digital certificates used by the Adobe software. By securing the certificates that protect corporate identities, Luna SA ensures that the digital identity of documents is secure throughout the corporate workflow.

The combination of eToken and Adobe Acrobat enables the strongest utilization of digital signatures. Within the Acrobat program, user should perform exactly the same process to digitally sign or secure its documents while picking the digital certificate that stored in the eToken. This process enables users to create certified documents that authenticate their identity and validate the integrity. Since users carry their certificates and credentials with them, eToken provides easy and fully portable way to access documents.

Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) provides an easy-to-use solution to create, manage, publish, and update complex digital forms while integrating with back-end processes, business rules, and data. AEM Forms combine form authoring, management, and publishing along with correspondence management capabilities, document security, and integrated analytics to create engaging end-to-end experiences. AEM Forms integrate with the Thales Luna HSM by using HSM stored credentials to apply server-side Digital Signatures.

The benefits of using an HSM with Adobe Experience Manager Forms include:

• Secure generation, storage, and protection of the private keys on FIPS 140-2 level 3 validated hardware.
• Full life cycle management of the keys.
• Access to the HSM audit trail.

Adobe AIR Developer Tool (ADT) is a multi-purpose, command-line tool for developing AIR applications. ADT is a Java program included in the AIR SDK. The SDK includes a script file for invoking ADT.

Digitally signing your AIR installation files with a certificate issued by a recognized certification authority (CA) provides significant assurance to your users that the application they are installing has not been accidentally or maliciously altered and identifies you as the signer (publisher). AIR displays the publisher name during installation when the AIR application has been signed with a certificate that is trusted, or which chains to a certificate that is trusted on the installation computer.

Using a Thales Luna HSM or HSM on Demand service to generate the RSA keys for Adobe ADT provides the following benefits:

• Secure generation, storage and protection of the signing private keys on FIPS 140-2 level 3 validated hardware
• Full life cycle management of the keys
• Access to the HSM audit trail with Luna HSM
• Take advantage of cloud services with confidence
• Significant performance improvements by off-loading cryptographic operations from signing servers
