The reason is that, being electronically signed, the digital format is the one in which all the characteristics of the electronic evidences and signatures can be visualized and checked.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is this SVC (Secure Verification Code) that will allow you, if you have a copy of the document, to verify the authenticity of an electronically signed document, access its original version and download it in digital format.<\/p>\n<h2>How to access a document using the SVC?<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Scan the QR code of the SVC<\/strong>. The most common way to use the Secure Verification Code is by scanning the QR code that accompanies it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Download the document<\/strong>. Once scanned, the original document will appear in digital format, which can be downloaded at any time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-79612 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image1-2.png\" alt=\"Example of document stamp with SVC and QR code electronically signed by Viafirma\" width=\"570\" height=\"102\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image1-2.png 570w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image1-2-300x54.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Verification of the document in Acrobat Reader<\/h2>\n<p>When you open the document in programs such as Adobe Acrobat Reader, you will be able to check:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>That the digital certificate used <strong>is valid<\/strong> (not expired or revoked).<\/li>\n<li>That the document<strong> has not been modified<\/strong> since the time of signing.<\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">If a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/en\/time-stamp\/\">Time Stamp<\/a> has been used, you will be able t<strong>o verify the exact date and time<\/strong> of the signature, issued by a recognized or trusted source.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Security in accessing documents with SVC<\/h2>\n<p>An important aspect to take into account &#8211; and one that is often overlooked &#8211; is<strong> the security of access<\/strong> to electronically signed documents. Since the SVC QR code grants<strong> access to the entire document<\/strong>, even confidential documents could be compromised. For example, if someone has even a single page of the document available to them and it incorporates a QR code, they could view the document in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>In order to adequately protect sensitive information, Viafirma&#8217;s solutions have<strong> specific SVC configuration<\/strong> with security levels for the access to these documents with sensitive or confidential information.<\/p>\n<h3>Access configuration<\/h3>\n<p>It is essential to correctly configure the access to the documents from the beginning. That is to say, if the signed documents will be stored in the client&#8217;s document manager, this must be correctly configured before the production to avoid future problems.<\/p>\n<div class=\"custom-author-block\"><div class=\"custom-author-photo-wrapper\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Santiago_nunez_mella-150x150.webp\" class=\"custom-author-photo\" alt=\"Foto de perfil de Santiago Nu\u00f1ez Mella\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Santiago_nunez_mella-150x150.webp 150w, https:\/\/www.viafirma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/Santiago_nunez_mella.webp 240w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/div><div class=\"custom-author-meta\"><div class=\"custom-author-name\">Santiago Nu\u00f1ez Mella<a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/santiago-n%C3%BA%C3%B1ez-mella-765a4422\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"linkedin-icon\" aria-label=\"LinkedIn\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"18\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"#0062be\"><path d=\"M19 0h-14c-2.761 0-5 2.239-5 5v14c0 2.761 2.239 5 5 5h14c2.762 0 5-2.239 5-5v-14c0-2.761-2.238-5-5-5zm-11 19h-3v-10h3v10zm-1.5-11.268c-.966 0-1.75-.784-1.75-1.75s.784-1.75 1.75-1.75 1.75.784 1.75 1.75-.784 1.75-1.75 1.75zm13.5 11.268h-3v-5.604c0-3.357-4-3.099-4 0v5.604h-3v-10h3v1.354c1.396-2.586 7-2.777 7 2.476v6.17z\"\/><\/svg><\/a><\/div><hr class=\"custom-author-separator\"><p class=\"custom-author-bio\">Santiago is the Business Development Director of Viafirma Group.
