A Trust Service Provider (TSP) is an entity that provides any number of trust services involved with the creation, validation and preservation of e-signatures, e-seals or digital certificates.

What is the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC)?

Ascertia is a CSC member. The Cloud Signature Consortium is a group of industry and academic organisations committed to building a new standard for cloud-based digital signatures.

These digital signatures will support web and mobile applications and comply with the most demanding electronic signature regulations in the world. The CSC was created to develop common protocols so that distributed applications and services can leverage digital signatures in a non-proprietary way.

SAVIS Technology Group, one of Vietnam’s leading IT companies, uses Ascertia’s services. Specifically, it utilises our Trust Services platform to secure the digital information of its enterprise and government department customers.

Nothing is more important than safeguarding company data. There is also no larger risk in today’s digital economy to business continuity and regulatory compliance.

Readily available and reliable mobile internet seems second nature to us, but it’s taken a while to reach this point. This blog discusses how public key infrastructure (PKI) can help prevent costly network outages and security breaches.

The world's most interoperable PKI just got even better! We are very excited to announce the release of ADSS ePassport Server, which bolsters the capability of our Trust Services Platform.

Additionally, it provides global governments with a trust infrastructure compliant to the very latest standards from the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and the European Union.

With so much of the world’s economic output suddenly reliant on remote working, PKI has risen in prominence once again, as Mike Hathaway, Ascertia’s CTO, shares in this audio interview.

In a previous blog, we wrote about the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), including how it works, the roles of certificate authorities and how to check certificates. Another element involved in creating and verifying signatures is timestamping, but what exactly does it do?

This blog details how timestamping works, what a Timestamp Authority (TSA) is and why timestamping is beneficial to the longevity and legality of digital signatures.

DigitalSign is a trust service provider and long-term Ascertia partner based in Portugal, operating across Europe and Brazil. In this blog, we discuss how Ascertia's signature solutions have enabled DigitalSign to offer remote signing to its customers.

Following a successful audit undertaken by independent certification body SGS Group, Ascertia has been awarded ISO 27001:2013 certification.

This certification has been awarded under the scope of ‘’design and development of digital signature and PKI software and its front-end application’’.
