I'm pleased to announce the release of ADSS Server v8.4.1, the latest regular release update to our flagship PKI and Trust Services platform. This release brings new capability that bolsters our ePassport offering and strengthens Ascertia's position in the government, border control, and digital identity markets.

What's the performance impact of adopting Post-Quantum Cryptography inside ADSS Server?

This blog presents controlled software-based benchmarking results, comparing classic algorithms (RSA and ECDSA) with ML-DSA within ADSS Server 8.4.

For many organisations, signing documents is no longer a simple administrative step. It is part of a wider business process involving identity, security, compliance, user experience, evidence, auditability and long-term trust.

Ascertia is delighted to announce the release of SigningHub 10.0.5, introducing new capabilities designed to support enterprise digital signing, AI-assisted document workflows, and flexible identity verification across complex business environments.

The practical deployment of Post-Quantum Cryptography is often related to algorithms, but the real conversation also needs to include how the algorithms are encoded into real-world structures.

In an era increasingly dominated by digital transformation, the question often arises: is the cloud always the answer? While cloud adoption has soared over the past decade, recent years have highlighted compelling reasons why on-premise solutions remain a viable option for security-conscious and compliance-driven organisations.

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) is often discussed in terms of algorithms. The practical deployment is not about algorithms alone; it is about how those algorithms are encoded into real-world cryptographic structures: X.509 certificates, CRLs, CMS signatures, OCSP responses, and timestamp tokens.

Governments face mounting pressure to improve efficiency, reduce costs, maintain regulatory compliance, and deliver seamless public services.
