What is a Tender DSC (Combo)?
A Tender Digital Signature Certificate is a specialized Class 3 Combo (Signing + Encryption) certificate. Government eProcurement and eTendering portals mandate two distinct cryptographic keys for bidding:
- Signing Certificate: Validates your identity and integrity of submitted tender technical documents.
- Encryption Certificate: Encrypts your price bid and financial commercial data so that only authorized tender evaluators can decrypt it on bid opening day.
Digitaal Wave provides dual-certificate combo tokens configured specifically to work seamlessly with all central and state government eTendering systems.
