About

p7m Reader

Read full description

L'app permette di visualizzare i documenti firmati digitalmente (p7m, p7s) e di verificare la loro firma, direttamente sul vostro dispositivo. I file .p7m sono buste crittografiche: contengono un documento e una o piu firme, e nessuna app di sistema di default sa aprirli. p7m Reader estrae il documento, ve lo mostra e vi verifica l'autenticità della firma. COSA VERIFICA - Se la firma è valida e il documento non e stato alterato - Chi ha firmato, con i dati del certificato - Se il certificato era qualificato ai sensi del regolamento eIDAS - Se il certificato risultava revocato al momento della firma - Le marche temporali, quando presenti Le liste di fiducia europee sono incluse nell'app e aggiornate periodicamente dalla Commissione europea, quindi la verifica funziona anche senza connessione. TUTTO RESTA SUL DISPOSITIVO I documenti non vengono mai caricati online. Non c'e alcun account, alcun server e alcun strumento di analisi statistica. L'app non usa OCSP: una richiesta di quel tipo rivelerebbe all'autorita emittente che qualcuno sta guardando un documento firmato con un determinato certificato. Non c'è pubblicità ne tantomento l'app raccoglie dati statistici. Potete rimanere certi che il vostro file rimanga al sicuro nel vostro dispositivo. Inoltre offre: - Salvataggio del documento come PDF, condivisione e stampa - Cronologia dei file aperti, con la possibilita di fissare quelli importanti COSA COSTA L'uso gratuito comprende la visualizzazione di dieci documenti diversi ogni sette giorni. I documenti già aperti restano riapribili gratuitamente per sempre. Termini di Utilizzo - Terms of Use (EULA) https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
