Authentication, Email & Office Document Security

PersonalSign Digital IDs

GlobalSign offers a range of PersonalSign (Digital IDs issued to people) with varying trust levels. Digital IDs can be used to access online Government services to submit declarations electronically, authenticate you to SSL VPNs, and secure email by digitally signing and encrypting email using applications such as Microsoft Outlook or other S/MIME email software.

The same Digital ID can also digitally sign Microsoft Office documents. By digitally signing a document or email, you can confirm that you are the originator of the document / email and help prove that the document / email has not changed since the time you signed it.
