From its cryptographic roots in the 1970s to today’s cloud-first, hyper-connected digital economy, Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) has quietly evolved into the invisible trust fabric of our lives. It secures identities, transactions, and communications in ways that most people never see, but rely on every single day.

The UK Government’s G-Cloud framework has transformed how cloud services are bought and sold across the public sector. It streamlines procurement, reduces red tape, and creates opportunities for both established providers and agile SMEs to deliver secure, scalable digital solutions.

Ascertia, a global leader in PKI and digital trust, is excited to announce the appointment of Pieter Rensburg as its Chief Digital Officer (CDO).

Ascertia is delighted to announce the release of SigningHub 10.0.3.

SigningHub provides an intuitive web interface, making it easy for anyone to sign. Documents can be shared, viewed, and signed on any device, anywhere, anytime in a way that suits any approval process. Over 25 languages are supported, and others can easily be added or customised.

Ascertia, a global leader in digital trust products and services, returned to The Landmark hotel on September 25th for the latest iteration of its biennial event for partners and customers: The Global Trust Summit.

Digital security and compliance are ever-changing. Successful organisations understand that certificate management isn’t a set-and-forget task. It’s a continuous, intelligent process that adapts to the threat horizon, regulatory shifts, and operational realities.

As quantum computing rapidly advances from theory to practical reality, businesses and organisations must prepare now to safeguard digital trust.

Digital transformation is now a critical requirement for secure, agile operations. At the centre of this shift is trust, and the ability to verify and safeguard digital agreements in a seamless, scalable way.

Public key infrastructure (PKI) underpins trust for the web, email, code, devices and more. Recently, browsers and some public CAs have changed how they handle revocation for public TLS certificates. That raises a common question: is OCSP finished?

Across the African continent, a profound digital transformation is taking shape. From broadband access and e-government platforms to the expansion of digital public infrastructure and the deployment of secure e-signing capabilities, African nations are rapidly advancing towards their digital futures. This shift is more than technological. It’s socio-economic, regulatory, and deeply human.
