Digital certificates are used in many electronic applications that attach importance to authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation. Examples include the online filing of annual accounts with the Central Balance Sheet Office, the compulsory electronic declaration of withholding tax and filing of VAT returns, DIMONA, the electronic customs declaration in the context of PLDA, etc.
Chambers of Commerce in Belgium have been the registration authority for PersonalSign 3 Pro certificates since the founding of GlobalSign in 1997. These are digital certificates based on what is known as Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), indicating that the holder represents a certain organisation. While the certificates are issued by GlobalSign, the chambers perform a preliminary physical verification of the person the certificate is intended for, and check whether this person is actually permitted to represent the organisation in question.
The GlobalSign PersonalSign 3 Pro certificate is a Category 3 digital identity, assigned to persons representing companies and requiring access to online services from public authorities, such as online declarations (VAT for example), archiving of electronic accounts, etc.
These digital IDs provide the highest level of confidence and functionality and respect all conditions set by the Belgian authorities.
GlobalSign PersonalSign 3 Pro certificates can also be used for digital signature and email encryption (S/MIME), for securing Microsoft Office documents to protect their integrity and to confirm authorship to the recipient.
