We are pleased to announce that we have signed a global distribution agreement with Entrust Datacard, a leading provider of trusted identity and secure issuance technology solutions.
The agreement cements a long-standing relationship between Ascertia and Entrust Datacard after winning numerous business deals together worldwide. The global agreement covers Ascertia's ADSS Server and includes the server modules for digital signing, OCSP validation, SCVP validation and timestamping.
On 15th November 2018, Ascertia launched the ADSS Server 5.10 release . This release delivers a new Cryptographic Service Provider (CSP) Service enabling Remote Signing with a range of applications including Microsoft Word, Outlook and Adobe Acrobat®.
The benefits of remote signing for end users include no specialist hardware (smart cards), reduced costs, and a simplified signing process with strong security. We hope you enjoy using this new functionality!
MD Rod Crook recently spoke at the eID Forum, Tallinn. Rod’s talk, Enabling business applications to take advantage of eIDAS Remote Signatures, discussed how signing solutions are beneficial to organisations and what features they should be looking for when purchasing a solution.
On 18th September 2018, Ascertia launched the ADSS Server Autumn 5.9 release. This release delivers a brand new Signature Activation Module (SAM) and Remote Authorisation Service (RAS) to support eIDAS compliant Remote Signing with Level 2 Sole Control.

We hope you enjoy using this new functionality!
At this year’s eID Forum in Tallinn, Ascertia will be presenting and discussing how all organisations can benefit from the use of document workflow and digital signature technology.
The focus will be on eIDAS compliance and in particular the way in which the new remote signing standards can be employed to optimize the user experience.
On 20th February 2018, Ascertia launched the ADSS Server 5.6 release. This release delivers further interoperability with services from Entrust Datacard and GlobalSign.
A recent Forrester report outlined several interesting trends. First, the adoption of eSignatures within businesses continues to grow steadily throughout the world. In Europe, enterprises are engaging with eSignature providers for a broader set of digital services than their US counterparts.
In this blog, we discuss our efforts to secure an eIDAS-certified remote qualified signature creation device (QSCD).
We want to let you into a little secret. Since Sep 2017, Ascertia has been actively pursuing a Common Criteria EAL4+ certification of its ADSS Server “Signature Activation Module (SAM)” Appliance.
Last year’s IoT Solutions World Congress was an opportunity for the industry to focus on the increasing influence of the Internet of Things in PKI planning. We attended the event with our technology partner Thales e-Security, which has just published the 2017 Global PKI Trends report with the Ponemon Institute looking at trends across 11 countries.
Recently a vulnerability in the implementation of TLS protocol has been found called ROBOT (Return Of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Threat).
This is the return of a 19-year-old vulnerability that allows RSA decryption and signing operations with the private key of a TLS server.
