Governikus DATA Varuna

Easy validation of electronic signatures and seals

✓ Services for the validation of eIDAS signatures and seals
✓ Check the electronic signature of submitted documents directly upon receipt
✓ authenticity is determined securely and accurately

Governikus DATA Varuna includes several services for server-side validation of digital signatures, seals and certificates, and for determining the legal level and type of digital signatures based on trust lists in accordance with the requirements of the eIDAS Regulation.

DATA Varuna's Validation Service can be used to check the electronic signature of submitted documents - such as a digital building application - as soon as they are received. The integrity of the content and the applicant's authenticity are thus reliably and accurately established. Our services for validating digital signatures thus protect against misuse and create legal certainty.

Particularly in the implementation of the Online Access Act services catalog, many application processes can

benefit from this protection against abuse and the added legal certainty.

The services of the DATA Varuna product implement the new European norms and standards for the validation of advanced and qualified electronic signatures and seals, which implement the legal requirements from the eIDAS regulation. All eIDAS-compliant qualified signatures from all EU member states can be validated and verification of Digital-Signature-Act-compliant signatures is still possible.

DATA Varuna is part of the IT Planning Council'sAnwendung Governikus .
