Email Signature Presentation and Creation Tool

A JavaScript web-based presentation and corporate email signature creation tool.

This project is designed to help users understand the importance of a professional email signature and effortlessly create an email signature formatted to match corporate guidelines in a verifiable manner. It includes:

1. JavaScript-Based Presentation: An interactive presentation that educates users about the importance of having a consistent corporate signature and how to use the email signature creation tool to add their signature to Outlook.

2. Email Signature Creator: A JavaScript web tool that allows users to generate uniformly formatted corporate email signatures, complete with logo. Users simply input their details and, with two clicks, have a perfectly formatted email signature copied and ready to be pasted into their email client of choice.

• As a security and compliance bonus, this application uses a lightweight Rust back-end service to securely sign the users email address and transparently add a unique identifier to the email signature. This "fingerprint-ID" is created using the (highly secure and efficient) Ed25519 signing algorithm and embedded as a base58 string in the alt-text of the signature logo. This fingerprint-ID cryptographically ties the generated signature to the email address used at signature creation, and can be used to verify the signature is legitimate. Since the fingerprint-ID is included in the image alt-text, it will work in both HTML and plane text emails.
