The DigiCert Employee Document Signing Certificate delivers a dual-layer trust model designed for modern corporate governance. It explicitly verifies that a specific individual possesses the formal authority to sign files as an approved representative of a vetted corporation.

By tying an employee’s verified name and professional title to your established corporate identity, this certificate guarantees to external parties that the signer is operating within their legitimate professional capacity. It fundamentally eliminates internal bottlenecks, allowing departments to decentralise execution authority while maintaining absolute oversight.

Dual Identity Attribution: The embedded metadata inside the certificate explicitly details the signer's individual name alongside your organisation’s registered legal entity.

Automatic Native Trust: Pre-integrated with the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL), removing the jarring "Unknown Signer" warnings. Documents display a native trusted validation bar right out of the box.

Uncompromising Data Permanence: Utilises cryptographic SHA-256/SHA-384 hashing algorithms. Any post-signing alteration—even a single modified character—invalidates the digital seal, exposing unauthorised changes immediately.

FIPS-Validated Security Boundaries: Private keys are generated and housed on specialized physical hardware tokens or corporate HSMs. The cryptographic material can never be exported or copied, protecting your enterprise against identity spoofing and remote credential theft.

Long-Term Validation (LTV): Incorporates RFC-compliant secure timestamping, ensuring that signed documentation remains legally unassailable and independently verifiable indefinitely, outlasting the natural lifecycle of the underlying certificate.

I cannot speak highly enough of the SSLTRUST team and in particular of the efforts of Paul Baka, who is most attentive and knowledgeable on the subject of security certificates as used by small business such as ours! Well done SSLTRUST

5 out of 5 stars

I obtained a DigiCert SHA-1 and SHA-2 code signing token from SSLTrust and code signed my software within six days of my order. I received a very prompt response from Paul Baka with very useful information as to how to complete the signing process. I would highly recommend SSLTrust to any software company, particularly if you are resident in Australia. Guy Hammond Southpac Financial Services Pty Ltd
