DigiDoc is a universal system for giving, processing and
verifying digital signatures created by AS
Sertifitseerimiskeskus. It can be connected to any existing or new software,
but its components are also a stand-alone client program and web portal.
These are the components of DigiDoc:
- client program. DigiDoc
Client is available to anybody to download for free. Anyone can use it to
verify digital signatures or, if you have an Estonian ID card and smart card
reader, also to give digital signatures.
- web portal. The portal is located at http://digidoc.sk.ee and is available to all ID card
holders free of charge. Its functions are similar to the client program - you
can use it to give and verify digital signatures. In addition, you can use it
to have a document signed by a number of people. With a few clicks of the
mouse, you designate the people whose signatures you need on the document, and
they can all sign it in the same portal. Every user has a directory of his or
her documents which no one else sees but where anyone can send documents to be
signed by you.
- file format. DigiDoc
specifies the file format of storing a digital signature and other technical
data in a container file, together with the original file that was signed. All
DigiDoc-enabled programs must support this format, and it must be possible to
export files from all the programs into standalone files, to be verified with
the standalone DigiDoc Client.
- software library. The DigiDoc library is available to all
developers as a program library in C and as a Windows COM component. It can be
connected to any existing or new software. For example, you could add DigiDoc
support to accounting software, document management system, web/intranet
applications etc.
