XSign ActiveX XML Digital Signature Component

I have created an ActiveX component for signing XML documents named Lizard Labs XSign Lite :) It is an ActiveX software component and has been developed for secure personal and business transactions. It enables XML digital signatures using certificates over the Internet and intranet. LLXSL is compatible with Microsoft.Net, ASP.Net and many other signature verification libraries; it doesn’t need MS XML, CAPICOM or other components and works on most Windows operation system including Windows XP and Windows Vista. Although similar products are available on the market for more then 1000$, Lizard Labs XSign Lite is free for use but please consider a monetary donation if you like this component.
