Document Trust
Make every document you sign legally binding, tamper-evident, and verifiably yours
Digital documents are only as trustworthy as the signature on them. SSL.com's document signing certificates and cloud signing service let individuals, organizations, and teams sign PDFs, contracts, and official documents with a cryptographic signature — globally trusted, legally binding, and tamper-evident from the moment of signing.
Documents are the primary vector for business fraud and forgery
Unsigned or loosely signed documents create legal and operational risk. Contracts can be disputed, regulatory filings questioned, and professional certifications challenged when there’s no cryptographic proof of who signed and whether the content was altered. At the same time, paper-based signing workflows are slow, expensive, and hard to audit at scale.
SSL.com’s Document Trust products address both:
- Document Signing Certificates — validated certificates that embed individual or organizational identity into a legally binding digital signature, at three validation levels
- eSigner for Documents — cloud-based document signing that eliminates hardware tokens, enables automated high-volume signing via eSealing, and supports the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) API
Two ways to sign and protect your documents
Document Signing Certificates
Sign with a validated identity — individual, organization, or both. Three validation levels cover every signing scenario — from individual professionals to organizations running automated high-volume document workflows.
eSigner for Documents
Sign from anywhere. Automate at any volume. No hardware required. eSigner for Documents is SSL.com's cloud signing service for documents. Sign PDFs, contracts, and official documents from any internet-connected device using the eSigner Express web app or the CSC API.
