Document signing certificates provide trusted assurance of authentication for electronically transmitted documents by validating author and document.
Easily Sign and Secure Documents
A digital signature uses a secure digital key that certifies the identity of the author of a digital message or document. Digital certificates give customers confidence that the signed documents originate from the recognized source and have not been forged or tampered with.
Adobe Document Signing Certificates offered by ComodoCA enable organizations to secure Adobe Acrobat documents with digital signatures. Certification originates from the Adobe Certified Document Services (CDS) or the Certificate Authorities that are members of the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL). Certification attests that the signer has been verified by Adobe for compliance to its requirements and that the certificate is on the protected hardware.
ComodoCA provides a complete range of digital signature capabilities while maintaining competitive prices.
