Protect personal documents with SEGGER's free Sign & Verify

Hilden, Germany – September 16th, 2015, SEGGER Microcontroller has released Sign & Verify, a Windows application which digitally signs a document to protect it from being maliciously altered. The utility is delivered with a key generator, provided free of charge for personal use.

Sign & Verify is an easy-to-use tool based on SEGGER’s emSecure. emSecure is a unique software package designed for embedded devices to prevent the hacking of Firmware and the cloning of Hardware. emSecure creates and verifies digital signatures, thus ensuring that transmitted data is authentic and has not been tampered with.

Sign & Verify brings this security to any kind of data transmission, be it commercial or private use. A pair of public and private keys is used to create and verify digital signatures. Documents may be signed with the private key.

The receiver of the document is provided with the public key, and using this he can verify the signature and check that the document has not been manipulated, as it has been digitally signed by the sender. All of this is done by way of a simple Drag and Drop interface.

Signing data this way is very helpful even in the private area. Modifications of the data during sending – be it through transmission errors, a virus, a trojan or any willful manipulation – will no longer go unnoticed. The utility can also be used commercially, for example to make sure that data stored to and recalled from a server is unchanged. If a commercial license is desired, please contact Indes.

The Sign & Verify package contains a key pair for evaluation purposes. For commercial use, a license is required, both the Key Generator and the source code are available.
