DigiDoc (original) (raw)

DigiDoc (Digital Document) is a family of digital signature- and cryptographic computing file formats utilizing a public key infrastructure. It currently has three generations of sub formats, DDOC- , a later binary based BDOC and currently used ASiC-E format that is supposed to replace the previous generation formats. DigiDoc was created and is developed and maintained by RIA (Riigi Infosüsteemi Amet, Information System Authority of Estonia). Web services also utilize identity cards for session authentication using an authentication certificate which is also stored on the id-card.
