Digital Signature

Digital Signature

The module is a solution able to enable the Adiuto platform for digital signature processes, both in relation to electronic storage, and in the approval/authorization phases that require it.

It will allow signing digitally and applying the time stamp to electronic documents remotely, unattended, and/or automatically by means of qualified electronic certificates, in the name of the signatory holders and stored on secure devices (HSM) of primary accredited Certification Authorities.

The Digital Signature module will allow obtaining the first recognition of the holder and the issuance of the relative certificate by the Certification Authority. Recognition may take place: through a video conference between an operator and the data controller (remote recognition); through a meeting between an operator and the data controller at the data controller's headquarters (optional, Off-Site recognition). The Digital Signature module will provide the signature and time stamping of the document footprint in a modality integrated with the Adiuto suite; the signing process will be independent of the size of the document, as only the fingerprint and not the document itself will be sent to the service.

The benefit is a considerable saving in transmission times, remote signatures, in fact, have an affixing speed up to 10 times higher than signatures placed via USB token or Smart card and ensure greater protection in the confidentiality of the document. The Digital Signature module supports PadES (PDF) and CadES (p7m) signature formats.

Evidentiary Effectiveness:

• Particular type of qualified electronic signature based on a cryptographic key mechanism, one public and one private, correlated with each other
• Expected reversal of the burden of proof
