Document protection

What electronic signature formats for documents does TrustedX support?

The formats supported by TrustedX in relation to document protection are:

  • Generic XML documents. Supports XML-DSig, XML-Encryption and XAdES (advanced digital signature format standardised by W3C and ETSI). Allows enveloping, embedded or separated signatures including signatures by reference of any node of an XML document.
  • Documents with generic format. Supports PKCS#7/CMS and CAdES (advanced digital signature format standardised by ETSI). The S/MIME format used to protect e-mails, also supported by TrustedX, is an example of PKCS#7/CMS use. Allows simple and multiple signatures (sequential or parallel), in enveloping or separated signature format.
  • PDF documents. Supports the signature format that is natively embedded in PDF documents (PDF Signature).
