NOTE: Governikus DATA Pavonis has been discontinued as of 31.12.2023. However, software maintenance for Pavonis will continue until 31.12.2024. Operational support for Pavonis will even be available until 31.12.2025. Please note that operational support does not include security updates. However, it will support you in the event of faults and error messages as part of the normal support service. Switch now to Governikus DATA Sign, which, in addition to sealing and signing, also covers the validation functionalities already known from DATA Pavonis.

The signature and sealing platform from DATA Sign combines all functions relating to electronic signing and sealing. From the signing or sealing process to its authenticity/validity check (validation), the entire process is combined for you in one tool.

DATA Sign is a component of the Governikus application of the IT-Planungsrat.

Governikus DATA Pavonis is a web application for validating electronic signatures and certificates.

The integrity and authenticity of data must be guaranteed for legally binding electronic correspondence and document exchange. This is achieved with electronic signatures. Users need support from suitable software programs to generate and validate electronic signatures and to manage electronically signed documents. Governikus DATA Pavonis offers the right support for this.

The DATA Pavonis web application can be used to verify qualified electronic signatures, qualified electronic seals and certificates from trust service providers. It provides an easy-to-use, ETSI and eIDAS compliant contribution to the validation of signed or sealed documents, as well as to the validation of certificates.

3 good reasons for Governikus DATA Pavonis

Integration

Validation for automatic processing can be integrated into a specialist application.

Interoperability

Open, standardized interfaces and web services for connectivity.

Flexibility

Expandable with complementary products and solutions.

All functions in one application

Governikus DATA Pavonis can provide the validation via a web application with user interaction and and provides a validation protocol in HTML format or as a PDF file as a response. This makes the application available to any person authorized by the administrator.

In addition, the validation can also be executed via a web service, which then returns a validation protocol in XML format as a response, and the validation can be integrated into a business process application for automatic processing.

The connected servers

For validation, Governikus DATA Pavonis accesses the Certificate Validation Server (CVS) of the Governikus DATA Varuna product.

Validation service

The validation service replaces the previous OCSP/CRLRelay. Governikus DATA Pavonis can submit qualified electronic signatures or seals to the validation service for validation. Certificates issued by a trust service provider can also be checked with the validation service.

DATA Pavonis generates a validation protocol from the test result, which can be output either in human-readable HTML or PDF format, or in machine-readable XML format.

Test report

A test report is created by Governikus DATA Pavonis as the result of a validation and implements the requirements of the new ETSI standards. The test results have the same meaning, but the presentation of the validation result in the test report has changed. The validation of digital signatures is carried out in accordance with the technical standards developed in the context of the eIDAS Regulation.

The new validation protocol thus has a significantly expanded scope and is divided into three sections that can be expanded to different depths depending on the validation object.

Core functions

Validation of digital signatures
Validation of signed PDF documents with PAdES and CAdES signatures and XML files with XAdES signatures*.
Validation of signed documents located in OSCI and ZIP containers as well as ASiC containers **.
Validation of signed OSCI messages with XML signatures, De-Mail messages with DKIM and XAdES signatures andE-Mails with S/MIME signatures
Creation of a Governikus validation protocol in HTML and PDF formats as well as ETSI-SVR (XML)

* ETSI baseline formats in all levels according to ETSI specifications.
** detached CAdES and XAdES signatures only
