Introduction​

Digitally signing documents is a common task in the workflow of handling a case. Several software vendors offer solutions for this. This article describes a standardized pattern to handle the signing of documents within the ZGW API landscape. Most API-calls in this pattern are already part of the ZGW standard. The missing link was a way to initiate the signing transaction. In this article we propose a standardized trigger message for this purpose.

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) is an essential part of modern API ecosystems, providing a secure and efficient method for verifying user identities and exchanging information between parties. However, as with any security mechanism, improper implementation can introduce vulnerabilities.
