About eSeal Certificate

A Legal Entity’s electronic seal (e.g for organizations, companies) is a digital signature attached in a digital document (e.g. pdf) that secures the origin of the signatory and the integrity of the document. Like its handwritten counterpart in the offline world, an electronic seal is a legal concept capturing the signatory's intent to be bound by the terms of the signed document.

What is it used for?

  • In small or large number of digital documents in order to secure the origin and integrity (legal documents, electronic invoices, certifications, letters, etc)
  • In electronic files, to prove their existence at a particular time instance (log files, financial reports, notices, etc)
  • For hard proof of legal representation, in combination with an eSignature from the organization’s legal representative
  • In digital files (e.g. pictures for which you own Intellectual Property Rights) so that ownership information is always visible and available
