Trusthub: Secure Document Management with Biometric Verification

The convenience of signing important documents from anywhere would be made possible by secure, convenient, and easily accessible ways. This is the reality that Trusthub, an innovative platform developed by Narola Infotech, brings to life. It streamlines document management, with a strong focus on security and digital signatures.


What is Trusthub?


Trusthub is a web-based secure document management system designed specifically for handling documents that require signatures. It goes beyond just storing files; it provides a robust system for managing, uploading, downloading, organizing, and most importantly, signing documents with biometric identity verification.

  • Securely store and manage documents
  • Facilitate document signing processes
  • Verify user identities using biometrics (like fingerprints)

This eliminates the need for physical paperwork and in-person signing, saving time and resources.


What Makes Trusthub Unique


  • Secure Document Storage: Trusthub offers multiple storage options, including local hard drives and cloud storage solutions like AWS S3 and OpenKM. This ensures your documents are always safe and accessible.
  • User-Friendly Interface: With different user levels (users, operators, companies, and partners), Trusthub provides a customized experience for everyone involved. Each user has access controls based on their subscription level ensuring that everyone has the access they need to complete tasks efficiently.
  • Built for Efficiency: Trusthub utilizes a tree traversal algorithm for efficient folder and document management. This allows users to easily navigate through their documents and find what they need quickly.
  • Signing with Biometric Verification: Trusthub adds an extra layer of security with biometric verification. As a result, it can be assured that only authorized individuals can sign documents, reducing the risk of fraud.


The Challenges of Building Trusthub


Developing Trusthub wasn't without its hurdles. The team at Narola Infotech faced the following challenges

  • Managing Folders and Documents: Developing a system for efficiently navigating and managing folders and subfolders.
  • User Authentication: Implementing secure user login with options like OpenID Connect and JWT authentication.
  • Cloud Storage Integration: Seamlessly integrating with various cloud storage providers.


They also face challenges in integrating various technologies like:


  • Keycloak OpenID: An authentication system for managing user access.
  • OpenKM API: For managing folders and files within the document storage system.
  • Proftpd Server: To establish a secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server for transferring documents.
  • Microservice Architecture: A software development style that breaks down the application into smaller, independent services.


How Narola Infotech Overcame the Challenges


The Narola Infotech team tackled these challenges head-on by:

  • Optimizing Tree Traversal: They implemented a Depth-First Search (DFS) algorithm for efficient folder and subfolder management.
  • Customizing OpenKM Library: The open-source OpenKM library was modified to work seamlessly with Spring, a popular Java framework.
  • Standalone FTP Server: A separate FTP server was set up for enhanced security.
  • Microservice Communication: Feign, a framework for building microservices, was used to enable communication between different parts of the application.


The Success of Trusthub


Through careful planning and meticulous development, Narola Infotech delivered a powerful document management system. Here's what Trusthub achieved:


  • REST API for Navigation: A user-friendly API allows users to easily navigate through their folders and documents.
  • Secure FTP Server: A dedicated FTP server ensures secure document transfer.
  • Document Management System: Provides a robust document management system with local and cloud storage options like AWS S3.
  • Advanced Authentication: Trusthub offers both OpenID Connect and JWT-based authentication with Spring Security for maximum security.
