Signing Service API

Overview

Use this API to digitally sign one or more prescriptions from an application that cannot communicate directly with an NHS smartcard reader. You cannot currently use this API to:

produce signatures using an algorithm other than RS1 (RSASSA-PKCS1-v1_5 with SHA-1)

End users of this API must be authenticated with an NHS smartcard or modern alternative.
