Long-term provability of electronic signatures

How to prove the validity of a signature after twenty years or more for electronic documents? <br> <b>The first step is to check the current status</b><br> on validity and collect information about the certificates. <br><br> <b>The second step is to ensure digital continuity</b><br> with a re-stamping system that automatically maintains the continuity of the time stamps, thus extending the provability of the signatures even though the certificates themselves are no longer valid. <br><br> <b>The third step is to create a proof trail</b> so that you can also prove the validity of the signatures.

Signature verification

The first step in archiving is to verify the signatures, seals and time stamps in the document. Verification consists of gathering information about the validity, duration or purpose of the signature certificate. This information becomes part of the evidence for future proof.

Automatic relabelling

The validity of electronic signatures, seals and time stamps is limited in time. The archive therefore ensures that documents are automatically time-stamped as soon as the current one is about to expire, thus ensuring demonstrable digital continuity for decades.

Evidentiary material

Evidence includes information on certificates, validation reports, revocation data and information on trusted anchors. All of this will help you prove the status and form of the document in the event of future disputes.

Other functionalities

<b>Archived file formats</b><br> In addition to PDF, you can also archive emails, data messages, XML or multimedia files. <br><br> <b>Archive seal</b><br> Archive packages are stamped with an archive seal to add credibility to the process. <br><br> <b>Part of the electronic signature</b><br> Long-term trusted archiving can be linked to an electronic signature service. Documents that you sign can thus be automatically archived. <br><br> <b>Integration API</b><br> You can integrate any application with the archive.

What is eIDAS

eIDAS is the European Regulation on electronic identification and trust services, which unifies legal and technical rules on digital trust across the EU.
