E-Signing validator

​The E-Signing validator can validate SDOs either manually by browsing for files or the customer can call the validator using HTTP POST to force validation of a specific SDO. The E-Signing validator is available at https://www.sign.nets.eu/validator/index.html.

General functionality​

The validator validates SDOs (Signed data object) and it offers this functionality:

• Statement of the document validity

• View the document

• List of the signers

• Document title

• Information about the seal of the SDO

When the validator is used manually by browsing for a file, the document must be stored on disk with the file ending .sdo.
