The use of corporate tools for any device wherever you are is already a reality in many companies. The<strong> digital transformation<\/strong>, accelerated by the COVID-19 crisis, <strong>has changed the way most businesses work<\/strong>, so the need to adapt to new situations arises.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>In this article we will explain the concept of centralized signature, the main advantages it offers and how you can implement it in your company thanks to Viafirma.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is centralised signature?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The centralized signature is born with the idea of being able <strong>to carry out procedures from anywhere<\/strong>. It takes advantage of cloud technology <strong>to store digital certificates in a safe way<\/strong> (on an HSM server) allowing them to be used with the same efficiency from a cell phone, tablet or PC.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Security and authentication is an indispensable element, so in order to access our certificate stored in the cloud, a<strong> two-factor authentication<\/strong> is required. These identification ways can be:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>A password<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<li>A<strong> validation code<\/strong> by SMS or mail<\/li>\r\n<li>Some<strong> biometric data<\/strong> that unequivocally identifies the holder (iris, voice, biometric signature, fingerprint, etc)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is the centralized signature legal?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Let us begin by understanding <strong>what the regulations allow us to do<\/strong>, which, by the way, are usually based on international standards replicated in each country. We start with the<strong> eIDAS Regulation<\/strong>, the most robust and modern regulatory framework currently existing at European level and used as a model in most Latin American countries.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Without going into too much detail, we assume that eIDAS offers different modalities for signing agreements digitally. <strong>All of them are legally binding<\/strong>, although some offer a higher level of security. That is why we focus on the one that offers an acceptable level of security from the outset: the <strong>centralized signature with certificate<\/strong>, a 100% secure option that allows the signatory <strong>to be unequivocally identified<\/strong> and is impossible to forge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9903\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/rawpixel-com-323215-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"Customers testing the centralized signature\" \/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 main advantages of the centralized signature<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The following are some of the advantages of this signature model:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li><strong>Lower costs and paperless.<\/strong> The use of paper and printing becomes minimal and unnecessary travel is avoided, contributing to a more sustainable environment.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Certificate delegation.<\/strong> Our centralized signature allows you to carry out transactions in someone else&#8217;s name in a 100% legal and secure way.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Adaptable to any business.<\/strong> The centralized signature, supported by eIDAS, allows and validates any transaction at a global level that requires the signature of any of the parties.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Easy to use.<\/strong> Your company&#8217;s certificates are hosted in an ultra-secure cloud (HSM), so that the user can carry out procedures and sign documents from anywhere and from any device.<\/li>\r\n<li><strong>Safer<\/strong>. Paper documents can be easily modified at any time. However, the centralized signature with certificate ensures that documents cannot be altered at a later date.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viafirma Fortress: the most complete centralized signature on the market<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Viafirma offers different solutions<strong> to simplify and speed up the digital signature of documents<\/strong>. Each one of them adjusts to the different requirements of our clients, since we know that not everyone has the same needs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To sign and carry out procedures that involve the use of certificates from different devices without the need of installation, you will need a software capable of managing certificates in a secure way and adapted to the current regulation. For corporate scenarios, Viafirma Fortress is a centralized signature tool able to store, control and delegate the use of digital certificates to third parties and integrable through API with any company software.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Your company&#8217;s certificates will never be stored on the device, but will be hosted in an ultra-secure cloud that <strong>can be used from any device and anywhere<\/strong>, so you can sign and perform online transactions from any device.<\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><div class=\"vf_related_posts_wrapper\"><h2 class=\"vf_related_posts_title\">Related information<\/h2><div class=\"vf_related_posts\"><article class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/en\/signature-delegation-2\/\" class=\"vc_gitem-post-link\"><div class=\"vc_gitem-post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/delegacion-de-certificados-768x605.webp\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"delegacion-de-certificados\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/delegacion-de-certificados-768x605.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/delegacion-de-certificados-300x236.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/delegacion-de-certificados-1024x806.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/delegacion-de-certificados.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"vc_gitem-post-data\"><h3 class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/en\/signature-delegation-2\/\">Signature delegation<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post_excerpt\">There are situations in which it is not possible to be in several places at the same time, nor is...<\/p><\/div><\/article><article class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/en\/two-factor-authentication\/\" class=\"vc_gitem-post-link\"><div class=\"vc_gitem-post-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/autenticacion-768x614.webp\" class=\" wp-post-image\" alt=\"autenticacion\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/autenticacion-768x614.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/autenticacion-300x240.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/autenticacion.webp 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/div><\/a><div class=\"vc_gitem-post-data\"><h3 class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post_title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/en\/two-factor-authentication\/\">Digital security: two factor authentication<\/a><\/h3><p class=\"vc_gitem-post-data-source-post_excerpt\">Have you ever heard of two-factor authentication?
