Question

Digital certificate-based signature validity

Hello everyone,
It is about the GMP conformity of a certificate-based electronic signature in Acrobat. I realise that this procedure does not comply with the GMP guidelines because any employee can issue a certificate to any name, but perhaps the settings or the signature process could be adapted so that the signature can be declared more or less valid. I know that Adobe Sign is a suitable alternative, but that would be something for the future. So does anyone have experience with this?

You should explain your acronym, when you use it first. What is GMP?

 

A certificate validation is dependant on the issuer. If I issue a certificate, but I do not use a trusted source to validate my certificate it's validation is limited to whoever trusts me.

Hey Abambo, thanks for the feedback.

GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) are guidelines that are used in the pharmaceutical industry. And they require that an electronic signature must be clearly assigned to only one person. 

And how is it guaranteed if, for example, I can issue a certificate in the name of John Smith at any time and then sign in his name? Would a third party be able to notice it?
