Long-Term Docs - preserving legibility and authenticity of trusted documents on your site

Software602 today announced it has started Long-Term Docs, an online service for long term archiving of trusted digital documents fully compliant to standards required by European legislation. The service covers entrance check, preparation for archiving and long term care up to the end of the document’s lifecycle.

Long-Term Docs service includes:

• Validation of PDF/A ensuring long term legibility.
• Conversion into PDF/A if the document has not been compliant to this standard. Long-Term Docs service supports PDF/A-1 (ISO 19005-1:2005), PDF/A-2 (ISO 19005-2:2011) and PDF/A-3 (ISO 19005-3:2012).
• Validation of digital signatures attached to the document.
• Validation of AdES metadata to ensure provable authenticity of the document in the future.
• Attachment of trusted time stamps in compliance with ETSI standards for long term archiving.
• Long term care for digital continuity of documents.
• Use of internal archives or solutions, such as Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive.
• Direct integration with Data Mailboxes System.
• Creating trusted snapshots of web sites, including source code archiving.

Documents stay on the client’s site or in a cloud selected by the client. The Long-Term Docs service accesses only verification metadata so the content cannot be compromised.

The technology supports all ETSI archival standards (PAdES LTV for PDF documents, XAdES-A for XML data and CAdES-A for any format) so it can be applied to not only texts and tables but also to video, voice, data outputs etc.
