Displaying the certificate in the client

All offered S/MIME certificates are fully trusted and recipients of your messages or documents will have no problem with them.

The email client clearly shows the information about a valid signature and you can display the detail of the certificate.

This DigiCert Client Premium certificate corresponds to Class 1 and contains only the applicant's email. The authentication is thus equivalent to DV authentication for SSL/TLS certificates.

The electronic signature guarantees the sender's address, the document’s immutability and integrity and also allows the message to be encrypted. Use a Class 2 or higher certificate to sign the email or documents with full sender authentication (name, email, company).

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

No special or additional software or development environment is required to sign documents, as is the case with Code Signing certificates. You can sign the document directly in the software you create it in. For example, signing support is available in the widespread Adobe Acrobat, MS Office, LibreOffice and OpenOffice products.

For specific procedures for signing in these programs, see the Help article Signing documents with a Signing documents with a Document Signing certificate.
In general, yes; but it depends on the specific software and its implementation. If the program knows the signature time (from a valid timestamp) and can check the revocation of the certificate, then the signature will be valid. However, this may not work entirely in all office programs.

If the validity of a signature in documents is critical and you require it for many years to come, then we recommend an electronic archiving service to manage the document life cycle.
Class 1-2 levels determine the degree of certificate verification. The higher the level, the more information is included in the certificate. Only the owner's email is listed in the Class 1 certificate. Higher Class 2 includes the certificate owner's name, email address, and company name.
