Appy legally-binding, secure electronic signatures to your digital documents with ease
About Document Signing
Digital signatures make signing documents as valid as the pen and paper version - but with added digital security. Using document signing certificates, users can verify the sender’s identity and ensure documents remain unchanged.
- Verify authenticity – Confirm the sender’s identity.
- Prevent tampering – Ensure documents stay intact.
- Enhance security – Use cryptographic protection for trust.
With digital signatures, people can sign, protect, and verify documents effortlessly.
Enabling highest protection for document signing certificates
Document signing certificates rely on a cryptographic key pair: a private key for signing and a public key for verification. To prevent forgery, these keys must be securely generated and protected.
A Hardware Security Module (HSM) handles this by creating, managing, and storing cryptographic keys in a tamper-resistant environment. Since the private key never leaves this secure space, it remains protected from exposure - ensuring signatures cannot be forged.
