CZERTAINLY Signing 1.16.0

We are thrilled to introduce CZERTAINLY Signing version 1.16.0, packed with significant enhancements for digital data and document signing, along with new features and bug fixes. We highly recommend upgrading to this version for a seamless experience and crucial updates.

Highlights

✍️ Signing PDF documents with External CMS Signer

Now, with the External CMS Signer, you can sign the hash of your data, producing a CMS signature that is PAdES compatible. This feature enables embedding the CMS signature into the PDF file, ideal for scenarios where sending the entire PDF document for signature processing isn't feasible. Whether optimizing network bandwidth or safeguarding sensitive information, embedding External CMS ensures visibility of the signature in PDF viewers while maintaining PAdES compliance.

📆 Augmentation of existing AdES signatures

Experience the augmentation of existing signatures to higher Baselines, extending B-B or B-T signatures by incorporating additional validation material and timestamps. This augmentation process is crucial for elongating the validity period of signed data, particularly essential for digital archives.

📋 Optional validation data

Configure AdES Signers to retrieve validation data for the signature, including all necessary certificates, CRLs, and OCSP responses. This feature ensures comprehensive validation of signatures and timestamps associated with each signature and certificate.
