Document security

Zoho Sign offers military-grade security for all documents by using AES-256 encryption at rest and SSL encryption in transit. This means you never have to worry about your documents being forged, tampered with, or breached.

We use a public key infrastructure (PKI), which is a two-key system wherein documents are hashed and encrypted with a private key and decrypted with a public key.

How does PKI technology work?

How does PKI technology work?
  • You upload the document, fill in all the details, and send it out for signature.
  • A hash is generated for the document.
  • The hash is encrypted using a private key and attached to the document.
  • The document is then sent to the recipient along with the public key.
  • The recipient receives the document and the public key.
  • The document is decrypted using the public key.
  • A hash is generated.
  • Both hashes should match to ensure that your document has not been tampered with.

Certificate authority

Documents signed through Zoho Sign use region-based digital signature certificates that are issued by reliable and accredited certifying authorities. This ensures that your documents are not just secure but also legally valid and reliable.
