Certificate validation
Which one of these documents is the original?
Without a Security Certificate, there is no way to be certain.
Each signature in the TRACE Sign system is confirmed via either our own EU Security Certificate or your own registered Security Certificate. The certificate will be automatically recognised by Adobe when viewing the PDF and you will be able to view further information on the signature as well as if the document has been edited in any way.
What’s in the Certificate
A valid certificate will include the following information:
-
The system that the document was signed in
-
The specific user that signed it (including email address)
-
The time the document was signed
-
The location the document was signed (including IP Address)
-
The owner of the Security Certificate
-
The Certificate Authority that published the Certificate
