Gravixia Help Center

Everything you need to know about the world's first hybrid digital signature platform.

🏠 Overview

What is Gravixia?

Gravixia is the world's first hybrid digital signature platform that lets you sign anywhere, with any certificate β€” without compromising security or control.

Core Strengths

🌍

Internationally Valid

Legally recognized globally, unlike Aadhaar eSign's regional limits. Works for cross-border contracts and international courts.

πŸ”

Cryptographically Secure

Anchored by trusted CA roots. Eliminates the "free text" vulnerability found in competitors.

🏒

Enterprise Ready

Deep ERP integrations, on-premise storage, and comprehensive audit trails for full compliance.

Gravixia is the first platform to unify diverse signing methods β€” USB Token, Smart Card, Certificate Store, Cloud Certificates, and Gravixia Free Certificates β€” all in a single workflow.

Why Gravixia β€” Critical Differentiators

These are the most important aspects of Gravixia β€” the foundational reasons the platform was built.

The Competitor Problem

🚨 Document Sanctity is Compromised with Competitors

Most competitors (DocuSign, Adobe Sign) primarily offer handwritten signatures β€” image overlays placed on a PDF. A signer can type or draw anything in the signature field, including protest messages like "I don't agree with this document." The system accepts this as a valid signature. The signer can later argue in court they never intended to sign.

How Gravixia Solves This

Gravixia provides true digital signatures where the signature text cannot be modified. No free text field, no drawing pad for protest text. Every signature is cryptographically generated from a valid digital certificate.

The Hybrid Advantage β€” 5 Signing Options

1
USB Certificate Signature
Hardware-based Class 3 DSC tokens
2
SmartCard Certificate Signature
Physical smart card readers
3
Certificate Store Signature
Certificates from your OS/browser
4
Gravixia Free Certificate
Free, instant, valid for 50 years
5
Cloud Certificate
Azure Key Store & AWS AMS

Free Certificate for Everyone

If you don't have a digital certificate, Gravixia creates one free of charge, valid for 50 years. This is a one-time activity. Gravixia creates certificates for every signatory β€” whether they have a login or are added as a guest without any account.

The Final Seal β€” Counter-Signing

As the final step in every signing process, Gravixia signs the document with its own AATL-enabled, Certified CA Certificate, making it legally valid in courts worldwide.

Enterprise Storage

  • Standard & Business Plans β€” store documents in Gravixia Cloud
  • Enterprise Plan β€” store documents in your organization's own cloud (OneDrive, SharePoint, Google Drive, Dropbox) β€” Gravixia never retains files

Desktop App for Hardware Signing

The Desktop App (Windows, Mac, Linux) enables signing through local certificates β€” USB Token, Smart Card, Certificate Store. Browsers cannot access local hardware directly.

πŸ” Security

Triple Trust Security Architecture

Gravixia cryptographically binds three layers to create an unbreakable chain:

πŸ”’

1. Document Trust

Every document gets a unique, immutable identifier tracking integrity from creation to final signature.

πŸ”’

2. Signer Trust

Certificates embed verified identity β€” Full Name and Email ID β€” ensuring non-repudiation.

πŸ”’

3. Platform Trust

Both certificate and document are countersigned by the Gravixia CA Root (Class 2 AATL-enabled).

A mathematically provable relationship between Document, Signer, and Gravixia. Any alteration breaks the chain. Every signed document is internationally valid and court-admissible.

Document Sanctity & the Free Text Problem

🚨 The Vulnerability

Competitors allow signers to type "I don't agree" in signature fields. The system accepts it. The signer can argue in court they protested, not signed.

Gravixia's Solution

  • Signatures generated from valid digital certificates β€” not typed or drawn
  • No free text field exists in the signing interface
  • Signature mathematically seals document content
  • Cryptographically bound to signer's verified identity
  • Counter-signed by Gravixia's AATL-enabled CA certificate

International Validity & Legal Compliance

Every signed document is globally binding. Gravixia counter-signs with its Class 2 AATL-enabled CA certificate as the final step.

Security Classes

  • Class 1 (Handwritten) β€” Admin contracts, low-value agreements
  • Class 2 (Server/Gravixia Cert) β€” SOW documents, internationally valid
  • Class 3 (USB/Smart Card/Uploaded) β€” Highest security, registered property signatures

Users can mix certificate types in one document β€” all remain legally valid.

Compliance Standards

eIDAS (EU) ESIGN Act (US) IT Act 2000 (India)

Audit Log & Compliance Tracking

Forensic-grade tracking for every document interaction.

What Gets Tracked

  • Document creation with unique Doc ID
  • Email invitations with IP addresses
  • Document viewing β€” browser, OS, location
  • Signing events β€” certificate type, timestamp
  • Device & IP for every action

Audit logs are cryptographically bound to the final PDF (tamper-evident). Compliant with eIDAS, ESIGN Act, IT Act 2000. The Log Message Dialog on the signing pages shows all activity in a sliding panel.

Security Features & Access Control

Access Control

  • Unauthorized URL access is denied
  • Cross-user document access is blocked
  • Session timeout on idle
  • Disabled buttons prevent unauthorized actions

Document Protection

  • Externally modified signed documents flagged as invalid
  • Malicious filenames sanitized; fake MIME types rejected
  • Bulk upload throttled; only DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF accepted

USB / Certificate Security

USB Token passwords are prompted each time and never stored by Gravixia. Expired certificates show errors. Missing tokens show "Token not found." Wrong PINs show authentication errors.

πŸ“œ Certificates & Signing

Hybrid Signing Model β€” World's First

1
USB Token (DSC) β€” Class 3 hardware tokens
2
Smart Card β€” Physical smart card readers
3
Certificate Store β€” OS/browser installed certificates
4
Gravixia Free Certificate β€” Instant, free, valid 50 years
5

BYOC β€” Bring Your Own Certificate. No certificate? Gravixia generates one instantly. Mix methods in one document seamlessly.

Gravixia Free Certificate

πŸ’‘ Key Feature

First time you click Server Certificate on the Digital Signature page, Gravixia auto-creates a certificate based on your email ID. Valid for 50 years. One-time creation. Works for logged-in users and guest signatories (no account needed).

After all signatories sign, Gravixia counter-signs with its Class 2 AATL-enabled CA Certificate β€” giving international legal validity.

Multi-Party Signing β€” Industry First

Every signatory chooses their preferred method independently:

πŸ‘”
CFO β†’ USB Token (Class 3)
🏭
Plant Manager β†’ Smart Card
🀝
Vendor / Guest β†’ Gravixia Free Certificate

One document, three methods β€” all cryptographically bound and legally valid.

Handwritten vs Digital Signatures

✍️ Handwritten (Class 1)

  • Draw + text (Name, Company, Designation)
  • Save 3 presets (Signature 1, 2, 3)
  • Timestamps, free text, stamps
  • Suitable for admin contracts, low-value agreements

πŸ” Digital (Class 2–3)

  • Server Cert β€” Gravixia free (Class 2)
  • Network Cert β€” Your PFX (Class 3)
  • Local Cert β€” USB/Smart Card (Desktop only)
  • Cloud Cert β€” Azure / AWS

Gravixia always counter-signs as the final step for international validity.

Remember Me & Certificate Settings

Signature Settings Dialog

  • Network Certificate Tab β€” Upload PFX + password. Saved in Gravixia (Standard) or your org cloud (Enterprise).
  • Local Certificate Tab (Desktop Only) β€” Select USB, Smart Card, or Cert Store. Choice remembered, auto-picked next time.
  • Cloud Certificate Tab β€” Configure Azure Key Store (URL + Cert Name) or AWS AMS (Region + URL). Saved for future use.

USB Token passwords are never stored by Gravixia β€” managed by your OS.

🏒 Enterprise Features

Storage & Data Sovereignty

Gravixia stores 3 artifact types: documents, signature images (JPEG), digital certificates (PFX).

ArtifactStandard / BusinessEnterprise
DocumentsGravixia CloudYour Org Cloud
Signature Images (JPEG)Gravixia CloudYour Org Cloud

πŸ’‘ White-Label Branding
