Signing Products: My Credential for Adobe
Authentication and document integrity for individuals
My Credential for Adobe enables individuals to publish and digitally sign PDF documents anywhere, anytime with a digital certificate stored on a token. My Credential for Adobe® provides Certified Document Solutions (CDS) certificates to support real-time certification of Adobe PDF files when viewed with Adobe Acrobat® Reader®.
Document security for any PDF
My Credential for Adobe enables authors to certify any Adobe PDF document. When the recipient opens the PDF in Acrobat Reader, the document is verified in real-time. A message confirms the author’s identity (PDF signature) and the integrity of the document.
Features and Benefits
- Real-time PDF signature validation provided by Adobe Reader
- Relying parties do not have any download or installation requirements
- CDS certificates are automatically trusted because they chain to the Adobe Root
- Cryptographic token-based certificate for signing individual documents
A portable certificate for anytime, anywhere security
Each PDF document is signed individually, using a secure, two-factor process. A SafeNet® FIPS 140-1 Level 2 cryptographic USB token is issued to an individual or a department. The token holds the verified signer's CDS certificate so you can certify your PDF documents from any workstation running on a supported environment.
Trusted verification provider
Certified document signing ensures the highest level of document security and verification because the user’s or department’s digital credentials are stored on a cryptographic hardware device and are issued by a certificate authority that is:
- WebTrust-certified using strict guidelines, and
- approved by Adobe.
