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.

Remote working has quickly become the new normal. As global businesses transition to remote channels, we discuss how eSignatures can help facilitate this process.

Many businesses that were initially sceptical have experienced the benefits and many will likely continue with remote working long after it’s necessary.

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’’.

Many companies have told staff to work from home and this has presented a challenge for some employees who are missing the means to operate remotely. In this blog, we discuss how to keep business moving with digital contracts and electronic signatures.

In this day and age, there is genuinely no reason to use paper for contracts, agreements, HR and other business documents. What is important is to ensure authenticity, trust and integrity of signed business documents.

Like many others, we have been affected financially by COVID-19, cancelling a major event at short notice. Thankfully our suppliers have been very helpful in rescheduling.

As a UK business that has been affected and in the spirit of helpfulness, we are offering any affected organisation a free 2500 e-signature pack to be used by all employees on our SigningHub cloud service.

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 (SDKs), Open Source libraries or third-party pre-compiled libraries or binaries. 

Security integrator and Trust Service Provider ADACOM was looking for a robust solution that could add value to their offering, and enable customers to utilise electronic signatures via ADACOM’s workflow platform or for their own in-house deployments.

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