DSC is a well-known digital instrument for storing data and signing documents that are stored digitally. The functionality and essential characteristics of DSC are used to sign electronic documents by numerous government agencies and other service industries. DSC offers multiple levels of cyber security measures to protect transferred personal data and guarantee the success of numerous online transactions.
The Information Technology Act of 2000 by the Indian government mandates that all tax returns, registration forms, and e-procurement papers must bear digital signature certificates. This safeguard confirms the signer’s identity and guarantees that any shared information hasn’t been altered or tampered with.
Capricorn digital certificates are in compliance with the worldwide Public Key Infrastructure PKI standard x.509. These certificates protect against cyber-attacks, forgeries, and data breaches. They can be issued in accordance with the IVG and IOG rules, as directed by the Controller of Certifying Authority CCA.
There are three types of DSC certificates: Sign, Encrypt, and Sign & Encrypt.
- A Sign certificate is used to sign documents, such as income tax returns, GST returns, and MCA documents. This DSC authenticates the user’s identity and validates the document’s integrity.
- An Encrypt certificate is used to encrypt sensitive and confidential data, such as e-commerce documents, legal documents, and e-tender filing documents. This DSC helps companies and individuals to upload and send encrypted documents securely.
- A Sign & Encrypt certificate is used for both signing and encrypting purposes, making it ideal for filing government forms and applications while maintaining the confidentiality of exchanged data. Capricorn Class 3 Encrypt certificate can also be used as a standalone digital signing tool.
