Case Study: Parchment secures academic credentials with GlobalSign Digital Signing Service

Parchment secures 8,000+ institutions’ credentials with GlobalSign

Parchment, an education technology company, needed a secure way to provide electronic academic credentials to its customers but found its original hardware-based digital signature system to be costly and resource-intensive to maintain. The challenge was to meet the high security standards demanded by academic institutions while simplifying the management of the cryptographic components and keeping up with evolving best practices.

GlobalSign implemented its cloud-based Digital Signing Service for Parchment. This solution provided the same robust digital signatures without the need for Parchment to manage on-premises hardware or PKI, allowing them to focus on their core competencies. The results included a more cost-effective service, the outsourcing of all PKI management to GlobalSign, and the continued ability to deliver trusted, tamper-evident academic credentials.
