Revenant

Cross-platform clients for DocuSign Signature Appliance (DSA) (formerly ARX CoSign) electronic signatures via the SOAP API (OASIS DSS standard).

Originally built for the Armenian Government's EKENG CoSign appliance, but works with any CoSign / DSA server that exposes the DSS SOAP endpoint.

Wait, isn't this thing dead?

Yes. DocuSign officially retired the Signature Appliance product line on July 31, 2023. And yes, I built a cross-platform client for it in 2026. The appliance is discontinued, the docs are archived, the cipher suites are from a bygone era, and the server still happily runs on TLSv1.0 / RC4-MD5 like it's 2011. What are you going to do about it?

The Armenian Government's EKENG CoSign appliance doesn't care about DocuSign's product roadmap -- it's on-prem, it works, and thousands of documents get signed through it every day. Somebody had to write a proper cross-platform client for it. Might as well be me.
