National Informatics Center - India to use E-Lock digital signatures

Frontier Technologies Corporation (E-Lock) announced today that NIC India would be using E-Lock's desktop and web-based document signing solutions and that E-Lock's wholly owned subsidiary in India - Tellus Technologies Pvt Ltd - has been empanelled as a vendor of electronic signature solutions to NIC.

The empanelment was through a tendering process initiated by NIC India. This involved a rigorous technical evaluation by the NIC team.

The E-Lock range of digital signature products will be used by NIC for internal use as well as to bid for various projects. For their immediate requirement, NIC has already placed an order for E-Lock's desktop and web-based document signing solutions (E-Lock DeskSeal).
