Ascertia’s ADSS SAM Appliance is the first Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) that meets the new eIDAS regulations and ETSI/CEN standards of EN 419 241-1 and protection Profile EN 419241-2 with Sole Control Assurance Level 2. It delivers the highest levels of trust when creating Qualified Remote Signatures on behalf of Natural Persons and Natural Persons linked to Legal Entities.

Ascertia has many partners across the globe that provide expert local service to customers.

LAWTrust is Africa’s leading trust centre, security integrator and security solutions developer and is a long-term Ascertia partner.  

In June 2019, Ascertia launched its SigningHub Summer '19 release (version 7.7.4). This release includes the launch of SigningHub lite, providing a pure e-signing experience.  Other updated features include, improved logging options and the ability to push registered users and their certificates to the ADSS CSP Service.

On 1 May 2019, Ascertia announced the  ADSS Server 6.1 release. This release provides a range of enhancements that allow third-party products and services to take advantage of exciting new functionality, including support for Remote Authorised Signing with Level 2 Sole Control.

In this blog, we discuss how eSignatures can help not-for-profit organisations. Because of their organisational structure, not-for-profit charities, community groups and social enterprises are usually highly collaborative with members, volunteers, group leaders, investors and trustees all having an influence on decision making.

In our latest industries blog we are focusing on natural resources and the benefits the industry could see from using eSignatures.

Producers of major commodities (coal, iron ore, oil and natural gas) are realising great efficiencies through technology. In a low-growth environment, there are opportunities to extend these benefits into broader operational areas.

In April 2019, Ascertia launched its new SigningHub Spring '19 release (version 7.7.3). This release includes features, such as invisible signature options and XML file support. It also offers the capability for remote signing in 'bulk signing mode'.

To meet the rapidly changing global requirements of our customers and partners, we have accelerated our development life-cycles. To keep you up to date, all feature updates will be discussed in our regular blogs.

Partners are critical to our continued success and our network stretches extensively across the world, with over 100 local partners based everywhere from Chile to Singapore.

Having announced that we passed the evaluation process earlier this month, the Common Criteria process has now officially completed with the issuance of this certificate.

This certification enables the ADSS SAM (Signature Activation Module) Appliance to be listed as a certified product on the Common Criteria website (under Products for Digital Signatures).

We have become the first company in the world to pass the Common Criteria EAL4+ evaluation process against the standard EN 419 241-2 for our ADSS SAM hardware appliance, a remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD). This provides the highest level of confidence that users have sole control over their signing keys held on central servers or in the cloud.
