Do you know why is it important to know the time and date when a PDF document was signed in order to validate a certificate? If not, let me answer this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s important as it provides the record of what state the certificate was in at the time of signing. But what if a document was digitally timestamped, say, 20 years back, will you still be able to validate it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, it’s highly un-likely. This was a hurdle that was coming in verifying the authenticity and integrity of the document. Hence, to overcome this hurdle the concept of LTV emerged<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what is this LTV? In this piece, we will provide you the answer and to extend your knowledge will also answer two of the most common questions that people ask in relation to LTV, which are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In digital signing, the key concept LTV or Long Term Validation<\/strong>, proves the state of the certificate when it (the certificate) was used for signing a document. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To say it in plain words, it allows one to verify the digital signature long after the expiration date of the certificate. LTV’s significance lies in its ability to render the signature indisputable through digital timestamping, thus establishing a secure foundation for certificate validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow the steps mentioned below to check if the doc is LTV enabled or not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
