Reliable verification of electronic signatures – whatever the document format. The signature verification tool detects the format of a signed document automatically and verifies the signature on the server. The result is a traceable verification report. RTR uses the tool for its public signature verification service.
At a glance
- In use at RTR: the basis of the public signature verification at signaturpruefung.gv.at.
- Automatic format detection: the tool determines the document format itself.
- Many formats: matching verification for different document and signature formats such as XML and PDF.
- Meaningful verification report: additional information even for documents without a defined format.
- Server-side: central verification on the server, no software needed on the user’s side.
How verification works
- Detect the format: a detection process determines the file format.
- Verify accordingly: the verification process for exactly this document format starts.
- Create the report: message filters for certain groups of document formats add to the verification report. This helps with documents whose type (XML, PDF, …) is not explicitly specified.
