Abstract
The purpose of this article is to discuss the motivation and benefits of developing and releasing a cloud service providing digital signature in software and infrastructure as-a-service model. Additionally, since users authorization and authentication is based on biometry (analyzing the blood vessels system) the end user doesnt have to be equipped with any additional smart-cards or devices for storing the private key and performing crypto-operations, and the only what he needs to digitally sign data, files or documents is a web browser and his finger. Podpiszpalcem.pl is the service realizing the above idea and is presented in this paper.
