Quantum computing is being discussed more and more within businesses, but what is it, how does it work and what effect will it have over digital trust services?

On 2 February Ascertia launched its latest update of ADSS Server (v6.8). This release includes support for the latest Cloud Signature Consortium API.

Readily available and reliable mobile internet seems second nature to us now, but it’s taken a while to get to this point.

We are very excited to announce the release of ADSS ePassport Server, which bolsters the capability of our Trust Services Platform and provides global governments with a trust infrastructure compliant to the very latest standards from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the European Union.

Previously we answered the most common questions about the OCSP. Another element involved in the creation and verification of signatures is timestamping. This blog covers how timestamping works, what a Timestamp Authority is, and why timestamping is beneficial to the longevity and legality of digital signatures.

As experts in high-trust solutions, we are often asked about the benefits of commercial off the shelf products versus seemingly more affordable Software Development Kits, Open Source libraries or third party pre-compiled libraries or binaries. 

OCSP stands for Online Certificate Status Protocol and is used by Certificate Authorities to check the revocation status of an X.509 digital certificate.

Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) work with customers in high-trust industries that require eIDAS certified Qualified Signatures.
