Abstract: Mechanisms are disclosed for decoupled integration of quantum-safe digital signatures into software applications. Electronic document content is stored, by a software application, in connection with a document store. An application programming interface (API) request is issued to a quantum-safe digital signature service. The API request comprises an identifier associated with the electronic document content and a request to generate a quantum-safe signature associated with the electronic document content. The request to generate a quantum-safe signature of the electronic document content causes the quantum-safe digital signature service to perform several steps. First, the electronic document content is retrieved from the document store. Next, a quantum-safe digital signature data structure is generated. Next, the quantum-safe digital signature data structure is stored to the document store. A signing status update is transmitted to the software application. The software application reads the signature data structure from the document store.
