Certificates of Various Types:

• Sign: Sign DSC can be used to sign papers. Signing PDF files for Tax Returns, MCA, and other websites is the most common application. Signing with DSC ensures not only the integrity of the signer but also the integrity of the data. It is evidence of data that has not been tampered with or altered.
• Encrypt: Encrypt DSC may only be used to encrypt a document; it is commonly used in tender portals to assist corporations in encrypting and uploading documents. The certificate might potentially be used to encrypt and transfer classified material. Encrypt DSC is ideal for e-commerce documents, legal documents, and document exchange that are extremely confidential and include sensitive information. Encrypt certificate is also available as a stand-alone solution.
• Encryption & Signature: Both signing and encrypting can be done using our Sign & Encrypt DSC. It is useful for users who need to authenticate themselves and keep the information they give confidential. It's used for things like filling out government forms and applications.

Validity of DSC:

You might purchase certificates with a three-year validity period. (The validity of certificates is regulated by law, and you cannot purchase certificates with a validity of more than three years or less than one year.)

Certificates are divided into several categories.

Now, only Class 3 DSC is provided to the clients, according to the new CCA criteria. All already purchased class 2 certificates, on the other hand, will remain active and usable.

• Digital Signature Certificate (Class 3): According to IVG guidelines, we also offer class 3 digital signature certificates, which are the most secure and safest of all certifications. It's mostly used in situations that require a high level of security and safety, such as e-filing, online trading, and e-commerce, where a large sum of money or highly confidential information is at stake.

Following are the main functions of Class 3 certificates:

• e-Tendering.
• Patent and Trademark e-filing.
• MCA e-filing.
• Income Tax e-filing.
• LLP registration.
• Customs e-filing.
• e-Procurement.
• e-Bidding.
• e-Auction.
• GST Application filing.

Benefits of Digital Signature Certificate:

• Authentication with a Digital Signature Certificate has a number of advantages. When conducting business online, it is useful in validating the personal information details of the individual holder.
• Cost and time savings: Instead of physically signing paper copies and scanning them to send via email, you can digitally sign PDF files and send them much more rapidly. To perform or authorise a business, the holder of a Digital Signature certificate does not need to be physically present.
• Data integrity: Digitally signed documents cannot be changed or updated after they are signed, ensuring that the information is safe and secure. These certifications are frequently requested by government agencies in order to cross-check and validate company transactions.
• The legitimacy of documents: Receivers of digitally signed documents can be confident in the signer's authenticity. They can act based on such documents without fear of the documents being faked.
