WebNotarius® - electronic signature without limits!
Today, we're excited to provide you with the new version of WebNotarius®. The service is the very first widely available, now free of charge validation service enabling verification of certificates, electronic documents and the validity of electronic signatures used in the European countries, including all of the European Union. Undoubtedly, this fact will contribute to the elimination of borders and barriers related to electronic signatures use in the area from Lisbon to Vladivostok. The service is provided by Unizeto Technologies SA, a qualified provider of certification services associated with the electronic signature - by CERTUM General Certification Authority.
Unizeto, using its experience resulting from the long-standing business in the market of global certification services and due to the cooperation with many certification authorities as well as using European TSL lists, provides the latest version of the system, which offers a wide range of services, including the ability to check the status and validity of any kind of over 400 different types of certificates being issued in the EU member states.
It is a real breakthrough in the use of electronic signatures at least on the Community and the Russian market. – said Andrzej Bendig-Wielowiejski, CEO of Unizeto Technologies SA - Until now in order to verify e-signatures it was required to use various software recommended by each of the nearly hundreds of working CAs only in the European Union and tens in the Russian Federation. In addition, these applications have been and are only available for selected operating systems. Now, using any web browser, everyone can visit web pages www.webnotarius.eu or www.webnotarius.pl to easily check the status and validity of electronic signature or certificate, regardless of the country of origin. This allows the representatives of public administration and business to secure acceptance of electronic signatures, for instance from Germany, France, Italy, Russia or another country. This is an important step towards ensuring full interoperability of electronic signatures across Europe.
The service is also available free of charge via the popular SOAP protocol. This enables easy integration with any IT system, therefore allowing for the full automation of the verification process of certificates and electronic signatures. This is particularly important for software developers, as this will significantly reduce costs and implementation time of support for the signed electronic document in IT systems.
