Cryptoucan™ usage: Signing LibreOffice files on Windows

In today’s blog post we’ll be talking about signing your LibreOffice files and reading signatures of others right from the app itself! We made an instructional video that will guide you through both of those process, even though they are extremely easy, quick and convenient to do.

Did you know you can sign your LibreOffice files and it takes 30 seconds maximum? It literally cannot be easier to keep your files secure and private!

Why would you need to do that, you may ask? Well, it’s extremely easy to fake documents in this day and age, anyone can create a file and claim it was sent by you – and this can get people in a trouble! By signing the file you created, person who reads it can rest assured it’s not a faked document. Also, the document can carry more than one signature which is super useful for big companies.

So don’t hesitate! Signing takes 30 seconds maximum, so what about reading signatures? Well, we are happy to say that that takes even less time – 5 seconds at most!

You only need to have our Gpg4win installed (download link here) and have public keys of those you wish would be able to decrypt the file saved in your cryptographic keys manager.
