True Credentials for Adobe

When signed with True Credentials® for Adobe, Adobe Reader will certify your organization’s documents. Recipients can easily verify the digital signature enabled by VeriSign and trusted by Adobe.

How True Credentials for Adobe Works

True Credentials for Adobe, offered by Adobe and VeriSign, powered by GeoTrust, offers seamless integration with Adobe document publishing applications that is easy for end users to understand.

1. PDF files signed with True Credentials for Adobe are certified.
2. When viewed in Adobe® Reader or Acrobat by the recipient, the signature is automatically verified.
3. A message confirms that the signature has been validated without user input.
4. By clicking on the signature properties, recipients can view additional information, such as certificate details, signer’s contact information and validation method.

A Digital Signing Solution Based on Business Needs

Low to moderate volume signing for use with Adobe Acrobat.
An individual or a department is issued a SafeNet FIPS 140-2 level 2 cryptographic USB token which holds the verified signer's CDS certificate. Each PDF document is signed individually, using a secure, two-factor process with the token.

High volumes of documents for signing use Adobe LiveCycle™ Security server.
For organizations with high volumes of documents (such as bank statements, billing statements, or reports in the name of an organization), the server-based implementation works with the Adobe LiveCycle™ Security server. The certificate is securely stored on a SafeNet FIPS 140-2 level 3 hardware security module (HSM) or an nCipher Classified Document Security Appliance and enables batch processing without manually opening each document to apply the certificate.

Local Control of Certificate Management

True Credentials for Adobe enables more secure, reliable electronic document exchange. Organizations are able to publish trusted documents to an open community where pre-existing trust relationships might not exist. VeriSign provides a fully-managed, centralized and secure Web-based management system that allows authorized Registration Authorities to enroll users, run reports, revoke certificates and manage certificates. World-class customer support is available by phone and email. Professional system integration services, as well as a full range of support options, are also available.
