As the logistics industry moves toward digital document exchange, trust becomes essential. Digital processes need reliable ways to guarantee authenticity, integrity, and legal certainty across companies and national borders.
The Open Logistics Foundation’s supplementary component eSEAL addresses this challenge with an open source implementation of advanced electronic seals aligned with the European eIDAS Regulation. Instead of developing separate trust mechanisms for individual document types, eSEAL provides a reusable trust layer that can support an expanding ecosystem of digital logistics documents.
This Spotlight Session will explores the legal and technical foundations behind the Open Logistics Foundation’s eSEAL approach, currently used in the OLF-eCMR Toolbox.
Participants will also gain insight into how the eSEAL component extends beyond eCMR. As the Foundation expands its portfolio of digital transport document components – including its newest initiative, the eDeliveryNote – the same trust mechanism can serve as a reusable building block for these developments.
Watch now to discover why we developed eSEAL the way we did and how you can use the approach in your own digital document solutions.
