Cost reduction through paperless operation
Reduction of labor for printing, enclosing, and mailing documents, reduction of postage costs, stamp fees, etc. can be significantly reduced.
Digitization of external transaction documents and application forms
When improving business processes through digitization, there are a few problems that prevent the digitization of the entire business process because contracts with external parties and formal documents must be exchanged in writing. Therefore, digitization of contracts and applications generated in transactions with external parties has a significant impact not only on improving transactional operations but also on reforming internal operations. In order to digitize transactions with external parties, it is necessary to ensure the originality of the electronic data to be transacted, as well as to securely store evidence that both parties involved in the transaction have agreed to the transaction.

Electronic Signature Services
OpenLimit SignatureService for PAdES-LTV is an all-in-one digital signature and time-stamping solution that enables verification of digital signature validity for PDF documents for more than 10 years.
OpenLimit SignatureService for PAdES-LTV Features
01
PAdES compliant, a standard for long-term signatures that can verify authenticity beyond 10 years
- Combining a digital signature with an RFC3161 timestamp (called ES-T) allows authenticity to be verified even after the signer’s certificate has expired. The digital signature enables authenticity confirmation of “who” and “what”, while the time stamp enables authenticity confirmation of “when” and “what”.
- Digital signature + time stamp + certificate + revocation information (CRL/OCSP) + retention time stamp(s)” is called ES-A. This form is called a long-term signature, in which the retention period is extended by adding a retention timestamp to the ES-T in order to extend the retention period. The long-term signature format is required for lease contracts, loan contracts, basic contracts, etc., where the validity of the electronic signature must be verified beyond the expiration date of the current time stamp (often, 10 years).
- ES-T and ES-A profiles are defined in the European standard ESTI.

What is OpenLimit SignatureService for PAdES-LTV?
OpenLimit SignatureService for PAdES-LTV is a server tool that can be used for a variety of purposes, including automatic signature of large volumes of documents, smooth integration into existing systems, individual signature design (e.g., impressions), and use with time stamps.
Handwritten Signature System
In B2C contracts, this service provides a signature function for individuals using handwritten signatures as a countermeasure for cases where the time and procedures for applying for the issuance of electronic certificates for individuals cannot be incorporated into the operations prior to contract processing. It has been widely adopted for individual contracts such as individual lease contracts and construction contracts.
examples showing the use (of a word)
The sales representative explains the contract details using an iPad or similar device and asks the customer to sign the electronic contract by hand.
Afterwards, the company signs the contract electronically, and the customer can refer to the electronic contract on the portal site or send the contract by e-mail, making it possible to conduct personalized contracts electronically anywhere. The ability to do this electronically also has security benefits, such as the ability to make revisions to the contract electronically on the spot and proceed to sign the contract, and the elimination of carrying a large number of written contracts outside the company.
