In our latest blog, we discuss RSSPs (Remote Signing Service Providers) and why they are important.

In the world of electronic and cloud-based remote signatures, regulations like eIDAS introduced the need for remote signing solutions to be delivered securely.

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.

Headquartered in Ljubljana, Slovenia, CREAplus delivers solutions and services to high-trust organisations in both the private and public sector.

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

In our latest case study, we look at how DigiCert + QuoVadis, a long-standing Ascertia partner, utilised the ADSS SAM Appliance to offer its customers certified, eIDAS-compliant Remote Qualified eSignatures.

Ascertia’s ADSS SAM Appliance is the first Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) to be Common Criteria EN 419 241-2 certified.

This is a guest post from Erik R Van Zuuren, founder of Trustcore.EU, one of the authors of the blueprint for the Belgian Personal Identity Card Project (BelPIC) and part of key egov-supporting services at the Flemish government. Erik spoke at our 2019 Partner Event.  

This article discusses the features that should be on a highly desirable feature list when looking for an OCSP Responder product. Although the main focus of this topic is technical, there are commercial aspects that need consideration. These are summarised briefly at the end. The technical features explained here are all available and implemented in Ascertia ADSS OCSP Server, which is downloadable on trial basis.
