Process overview

The below diagram shows the end-to-end process and indicates who is responsible of each step. The process involves three actors that are engaged as follows:

1. The customer (eSeal requester): is an entity aims to have an eSeal certificate to use it to apply eSeals on documents issued by the entity to confirm the identity of the document issuer, the origin and integrity of the data source in these documents.

2. DDA – UAE PASS team (referenced hereinafter as UAE PASS team): The UAE PASS offers eSeal singing leveraging its digital signing platform. In this context, the eSeal signing key is going to be generated within the UAE PASS platform and then certified by DESC CA. Once the certification is done as part of this process, the customer will be able to use their eSeal certificate to apply eSeals on their document through the APIs exposed by the UAE PASS platform.

3. DDA - DESC team (referenced hereinafter as DESC team): being the CA offering certification services for eSeals. The CA standard role in this process is to vet the identity of certificate requester prior to issuing the certificate. DESC CA signs the eSeal signing key generated by the UAE PASS team and share the certificate as part of the process.
