Riyadh: The Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) has launched the "Ibram" platform for digital signatures and seals, enabling government entities and their employees to securely and instantly sign and verify documents digitally.

According to Saudi Press Agency, the Ibram platform is designed to enhance the efficiency of electronic transactions while ensuring high levels of security, reliability, and legal validity. It aims to provide a trusted digital environment and streamline document processing by enabling the fast and secure signing and verification of digital documents. More than 87 government entities currently benefit from the platform's services within the digital certification system.

The platform offers a range of services, most notably digital seals and digital signatures. A digital seal is a certificate issued to a government entity to verify the identity of the issuing authority and ensure the integrity and legal validity of a document. A digital signature is a certificate issued to a government employee, enhancing the security and reliability of electronic transactions by verifying the signatory's identity and confirming their approval of the document's content.

The launch of the platform is part of SDAIA's ongoing efforts to empower government entities with reliable digital solutions based on advanced technologies, improve the efficiency of government procedures, and support the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030 in building a sustainable digital economy and an effective government system.
