Jan 17, 2025A: Certyfirma leverages blockchain technology to ensure the highest level of security, transparency, and traceability for electronic signatures and document integrity.
- Why Blockchain?
1) Immutability: Once a document is signed, the blockchain creates an unchangeable record of the signature details. This guarantees the authenticity and prevents tampering.
2) Traceability: Every action, from the creation of the document to its final signature, is recorded on the blockchain, providing a transparent and auditable trail.
3) Verification: Anyone can independently verify the signature and document authenticity using blockchain records without relying solely on Certyfirma.
- How Does It Work?
1) Document Hashing: When a document is signed, Certyfirma generates a unique cryptographic hash (a digital fingerprint) of the file. This hash is stored on the blockchain.
2) Signature Record: Along with the hash, the signers' identity verification and signature metadata are recorded securely in the blockchain.
3) Verification: Later, anyone with access to the document can match its hash to the one stored on the blockchain, confirming it has not been altered and validating the signatures.
Using blockchain makes Certyfirma stand out by combining cutting-edge technology with ease of use, ensuring both compliance and peace of mind. If you have more questions about how this works, feel free to ask!
