Adobe Sign lets organizations choose from multiple TSPs to sign and time stamp documents and utilizes trust lists, such as the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL) and the European Union Trusted Lists (EUTL) that are natively incorporated into Adobe software. TSPs issue the digital signing certificates used to create and validate digital signatures.

Trust Service Provider (TSP) - A trust service provider (TSP) is an organization that provides secure identity and transaction, registration authority, certificate authority, and/or time stamp authority services.

Certificate Authority (CA) - A certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates which can be used for e-signing and certifying documents.

A digital certificate is often stored in a password-protected file on a computer or network, USB token, smart card, or other security hardware device.

Digital Certificates - A digital certificate (or public key certificate) is an electronic representation of data associated with a person or organization based on the X509 standard maintained by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).

Using a digital ID provides a higher level of assurance that you are the person who authorized your e-signature on a specific document.

Each digital ID is backed by a digital certificate issued by a trusted 3rd party, such as a bank or government, after thoroughly verifying your identity. Similar to a passport in electronic form, a digital identity (digital ID) allows you to securely prove that you are who you say you are – such as when e-signing a document.
