User interface

DATA Boreum has an almost barrier-free user interface. Attention was paid to simple and clear user guidance.

The user interface has been thoroughly revised with regard to accessibility requirements. You can use screen readers and a Braille display. All GUI elements are accessible via keyboard navigation and with keyboard shortcuts, and the user interface is zoomable.

Test report

Governikus DATA Boreum continues to create a test protocol as the result of a validation. The test report implements the requirements of the new ETSI standards. The test results have the same meaning, but the presentation of the validation result in the test report has changed. The validation of digital signatures is carried out in accordance with the technical standards developed in the context of the eIDAS Regulation. As a result, the scope of the validation report has been significantly expanded and is divided into three sections, which can be expanded to different depths depending on the subject of validation.

To create signatures you need:
