TrustedDoc is an exciting new e-Business product which utilises leading digital signature technologies to produce trustworthy digitally signed documents for use in e-Business environments. This advanced solution not only allows the identification of the signatory and the authentication of the data that was signed, but its Trusted Timestamp feature also pinpoints the time of signing, and its secure archive ensures validation of the document years after signing. The need for non-repudiation in e-Business

Picture the following scenarios: Your customer denies ever ordering the goods that you have just delivered; your supplier will not be bound by the prices that he quoted to you; the tax department insists that your tax returns are late. TrustedDoc's reliable time stamping and digital signing of electronic documents dramatically reduce such repudiation risks in the world of e-business. Reliable e-Business processes can thus be built around TrustedDoc.

Repudiation in an e-Business context means backing out of, or denying part in, a business transaction. There are many ways to repudiate a business transaction - the goal of TrustedDoc is to produce and maintain evidence so that the risk of repudiation is minimised.

Today, digital signatures are recognised in many countries as the equivalent of hand-written signatures. However, for an electronically signed document to have legal significance certain technical requirements are often mandated by law. TrustedDoc provides a comprehensive infrastructure to assist e-Business environments to conform to such laws.

TrustedDoc can also assist corporations in moving from paper-based to electronic document management systems, thus creating more efficient business processes and substantial cost savings.
