Documents Integrity and Non-Repudiation

where are we today? current signing and sealing practices

Government and private sector is moving towards digital workflows to improve efficiency and reduce costs:
  • They encounter bottlenecks at the point of obtaining signature
  • Signatures interrupt electronic workflows and increase time requirements
  • Documents are created electronically, printed for review or approval, then signed, scanned back to electronic form, and printed again when needed for use or for permanent storage in physical archive

  • Traditionally, a signature is a handwritten depiction of someone’s name, a cursive scribble of identity, or even a simple “X” written on a document.
  • Signature serves two related functions:
    • Providing evidence regarding the origin of the document (a person’s identity).
    • Providing evidence of the intention of that person with regard to the document
  • Another function associated with a signature is evidence of the integrity of the signed item

In order to realize the full potential of electronic processes in Governments and Private Sector, Orbis has developed a digital signature infrastructure to convert this cumbersome paper-based process to a Secure electronic one.

Digital signatures are a sub-category of electronic signatures. While an electronic signature can be any kind of data attached to a document, such as a written name below an email, a digital signature is based on a mathematical process of protecting the document

There are two major types of digital signatures, differentiable only by how securely the authentication has been processed:
  • Qualified digital signature (QES)
  • Advanced digital signature (AES)

​Orbis Digital signature infrastructure deliver QES based digital signature (as they are based on Qatar and UAE smart Id cards) ensuring the highest level of security and thus enabling their recognition in a court of law as they are in accordance with the Electronic commerce laws for both the State of Qatar and UAE.
