What is Trusted Signatures?
Trusted Signatures is a digital document security solution that applies Adobe-aligned PDF digital signatures and seals to ensure document authenticity and integrity. The platform enables organizations to seal and verify critical documents such as invoices, bids, grant reports, and payee changes without altering existing workflows. When recipients open these PDFs in Acrobat or Reader, they see the distinctive blue "Certified" banner, which serves as cryptographic proof of origin and prevents tampering wherever the file travels.
The solution works alongside existing e-signature tools and automatically seals documents as they're generated, requiring no extra steps for staff or customers. Based on globally recognized standards including AATL and eIDAS, Trusted Signatures helps organizations prevent fraud, prove compliance, and build trust with cryptographic seals that break if anyone attempts to alter the file content.
