Digital Signature Certificate for E-Tenders

E-procurement is a business-to-business (B2B) mechanism in which goods and services are procured and distributed over the internet. It differs from e-commerce in the sense that it is a closed system that enables the participation of only a small number of registered users.
E-procurement provides a line of communication between a business and a supplier, enabling interactions such as bids, purchase orders, etc.

In order to conduct business online, e-tender are used as a forum for advertising these procurements. A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is essential for carrying out an e-tendering process.

A Class 3 type of digital signature certificate(DSC) is required for e-tendering which provides the highest level of security for tendering applications. Digital signature validity can vary over a period of 1, 2 or 3 years.

How does a Digital Signature Works?

While registering for a digital signature certificate (dsc), private and public key are generated using the same algorithm by the controller of Certifying Authority (CA). The private key is shared with the respective individual/party only, whereas the public key is made universal.
The private key is a secure digital key that is used to decrypt one’s signature using the public key. The digital signature of a person can only be authorized when the private key successfully decrypts the public key.
