A visible digital seal is a digital certification that provides visible proof of authenticity and integrity for online content, documents, and transactions. VDS is an essential component of maintaining trust and security in the digital world. Displaying a VDS assures your customers that your content is authentic and untampered. The digital seal acts as a unique identifier that verifies the authenticity and integrity of the content. Any attempt to alter or manipulate the content will break the seal, alerting users to potential tampering. This helps to build trust, credibility, and protect against fraud. By implementing VDS technology, you can safeguard your digital assets, such as documents or products from unauthorized modifications. This is particularly important for industries that deal with sensitive information, such as finance, healthcare, and legal sectors.
Visible Digital Seal (VDS) technology enhances document security by embedding a secure, machine-readable code directly onto physical documents. This code, which appears as a 2D barcode or QR code, contains encrypted data that verifies the authenticity and integrity of the document. Generating the VDS involves digitally signing the document’s key information with a cryptographic key, creating a unique digital signature. During verification, the system scans and decrypts the code to extract and validate the embedded information against the original data. This process ensures that any tampering or alterations are immediately detectable, providing a robust and reliable method for securing important documents.
Structured Data Set.
The VDS contains a payload and its signature from the issuer, forming an Electronically Signed Encoded Data Set (ESEDS). This structured data set includes a header, payload, signature, and an optional auxiliary data block, ensuring comprehensive and secure data representation for each document.
Flexible Representation
VDS can be represented in various machine-readable codes (MRCs), such as QR codes, barcodes, or RFID tags. These codes are easily readable using devices like scanners, barcode readers, or RFID readers, offering flexible and accessible solutions for different verification environments and devices.
Efficient Data Utilization.
VDS optimizes the use of space by not containing the certificate used for the signature or the definition of the use case directly. Instead, it includes identifiers for their retrieval, ensuring efficient data utilization and reducing the data footprint on the document.
Use Case Specific Implementation.
The implementation of VDS is tailored to specific use cases, determining key data fields, field constraints, and additional verification policies. This customization is achieved through a secure XML-format manifest file, which is extendable for additional functionalities, ensuring the solution meets the precise needs of various applications.
Robust Verification Process.
The verification of VDS is supported by a robust Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the document. Each element supporting the VDS is cryptographically signed and protected, leveraging PKI to guarantee trustworthiness and secure verification processes.
Our Visible Digital Seal (VDS) technology complies with international standards such as ISO 22376 and ISO 22385, demonstrating our commitment to industry best practices and regulatory compliance. ISO 22376 specifies the requirements for the creation and verification of visible digital seals on documents, ensuring that our VDS technology meets the highest standards for security and reliability. ISO 22385 outlines the methods for evaluating the effectiveness of these seals, providing a benchmark for the performance and integrity of our solutions. By aligning with these standards, we ensure that our VDS technology delivers robust, trustworthy, and globally recognized security for document verification.

VDS technology uses advanced cryptographic techniques to create a unique digital signature for each document. This signature is embedded in a 2D barcode or QR code, making any tampering or alterations immediately detectable during verification.
VDS technology can be applied to a wide range of documents, including passports, visas, diplomas, transcripts, financial documents, and government-issued identification, ensuring their authenticity and preventing fraud.
VDS is verified by scanning the 2D barcode or QR code using standard barcode readers or mobile devices. The encrypted data is then decrypted and compared against the original information to confirm the document’s authenticity and integrity.
Our VDS technology complies with international standards such as ISO 22376 and ISO 22385, ensuring that it meets the highest benchmarks for security, reliability, and performance in document verification.
