Document Signer and Special Purpose Certificates

E-Sign Documents (Document Signer Offerings)

With the increased use of computers and computer networks the movement of documents in electronic (soft) form has increased significantly in both internal workflow and third party communications. This increased use has led to a growing concern about the authenticity of these electronic documents.  Various government statutes including the Goods and Service Tax (GST) Act mandate the application of digital signatures on electronic documents to be legally valid. Digital Signature certificates (DSC), in these circumstances, serves as the most economical and feasible option to ensure the authentication, integrity and non-repudiation of such documents. The cost of printing, signing and physically dispatching the invoices can easily be dispensed, with the use of our solutions.
