You need a qualified certificate with qualified digital signatures. DocsNG works with Google Cloud HSM for cryptographic operations.

DocsNG opted for Google Cloud HSM due to its compelling combination of affordability, convenience, and reliability. The monthly pricing for a key in Cloud HSM is remarkably competitive, with rates as low as 1 USD, and 10,000 crypto operations costing only 0.03 USD. This cost-effectiveness stands out significantly when compared to alternative solutions that often come with higher price tags in the thousands of euros. For detailed pricing information, you can refer to Google Cloud KMS Pricing.

Google Cloud HSM (Hardware Security Module) is a robust solution with specific technical specifications and notable certifications. Here are some key technical specifications and certification details:

Technical Specifications:

1. HSM Provider: Google Cloud HSM utilizes Marvell LiquidSecurity HSMs.

2. Firmware Version: The implementation includes firmware versions, with one example being version 3.4 build 09.

3. Security Level: FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified. This certification ensures a high level of security and compliance with federal standards.

4. Cryptographic Capabilities: Offers advanced cryptographic functions, including key management and cryptographic operations.

Certification Details:

1. FIPS 140-2 Level 3: The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Publication 140-2 is a U.S. government computer security standard. Level 3 of this standard focuses on both the physical and logical security of the HSM, including protection against physical tampering.

2. Marvell LiquidSecurity HSMs: The specific HSM provider, Marvell LiquidSecurity, is part of the implementation. You can refer to Marvell's documentation for more detailed specifications of their HSMs.

3. Certification ID: FIPS Certification ID: #4399.

Google Cloud HSM brings paramount advantages to DocsNG. Firstly, the service is cost-effective, providing a budget-friendly solution for secure key management. Secondly, the convenience and ease of use are noteworthy, as the setup process takes less than 10 minutes. Lastly, the widespread availability of Google Cloud HSM worldwide, coupled with its ability to be configured in a redundant setup, enhances the overall reliability of the service. These factors collectively make Google Cloud HSM a preferred choice for DocsNG's security infrastructure.

You can set up timestamp servers through the Server Settings submenu. By default, DocsNG uses PAdES LTV standard for digital signatures.

es, DocsNG is available as a Docker image. You can use the provided docker-compose.yml file to set it up. Please check out our documentation.

For document generation from the GUI or API, normal user role permissions are sufficient.

DocsNG primarily works with templates created in MS Word for document generation.

Yes, developers can refer to the developer's guide for detailed instructions on data model creation, template design, and API usage.

DocsNG supports PAdES-LTV (Long-Term Validation).

PAdES (PDF Advanced Electronic Signatures) is a set of standards for ensuring the security of electronic signatures in PDF documents.

DocsNG supports PAdES-LTV by incorporating timestamping and archival features, allowing for the creation of electronic signatures with long-term validity.

PAdES-LTV (Long-Term Validation) ensures that electronic signatures remain valid and verifiable over an extended period. It includes timestamping and archival features to meet long-term legal requirements.

EIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication, and Trust Services) is a regulation in the European Union that establishes a legal framework for electronic transactions, providing a standardized approach to electronic signatures, seals, time stamps, and more.

Once a document is generated, you can download it from the GUI interface and save it to your local machine.

Long-term validation ensures that electronic signatures remain legally valid and verifiable even as technology evolves, meeting the requirements for extended periods, including archival and legal purposes.

Yes, DocsNG provides the capability to timestamp and archive documents, enabling long-term validation of electronic signatures.

Verifying signatures on a document signed by DocsNG is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Document:

   • Use Adobe Acrobat or any PDF reader that supports signature verification.

2. View Signature Properties:

   • Open the signature panel or right-click on the signature field and select "Signature Properties."

3. Automatic Validation:

   • Adobe Acrobat will automatically validate the signature against the digital certificate associated with it.

4. Signature Details:

   • The signature properties will display details such as the signer's identity, the timestamp of the signature, and the validity status.

5. Validated Document:

   • A green checkmark or similar indicator will confirm that the signature is valid and the document has not been tampered with since the time of signing.

Note: Adobe Acrobat uses industry-standard validation protocols to ensure the integrity and authenticity of digital signatures. Always use a trusted PDF reader to verify signatures for the most reliable results.
