WinSesame Certification :

Signature and certification of a file:

The certification of a file consists in saving on a secure server a digital signature of this file but not the file itself. Any file of any type has a unique digital signature but from this signature it is impossible to reconstruct the file. This digital signature is then associated with a readable signature created by the signatory of the file. This signature is time stamped by the server and not by the signatory. It has a unique and non-modifiable identifier of the signer on the server. In order to be able to provide proof of the ownership of the file, the signatory may include in his signature the digital signature of a private and unique signature file that he is the only one to possess (private key). The signature is then saved on the server. The same file can not be signed twice by the same person or not.

The verification procedure will be used as appropriate to:
