Swiss firm fights online fraud with Certified Document Hosting

Until now its been impossible to know if signatures, stamps and seals on electronic images, photocopies and faxes of paper documents are authentic or fake. SwissCertified.com stops the guessing by allowing you to verify, online, if a document authentic.

(PRWEB) March 14, 2004 --SwissCertified is the brainchild of Hans Wyssen who served as a volunteer educator before settling in Zurich, Switzerland. Hans explains: "When you go to the doctor's office you see trust building paper certificates hanging on the wall. Now you can do the same thing ONLINE by hosting certificates, permits diplomas, photos and other trust building documents at SwissCertified.com."

The solution is as simple as it is novel. Notarized paper copies of original documents are sent to SwissCertified where they are scanned and uploaded to a secure web server. Before uploading, only original notary signatures, stamps and seals are flagged with the "SwissCertified Original" stamp so that persons who view documents online can see which certification marks are authentic.

The market for this new service appears to be limitless. Online sellers can host their trust building certificates, permits, customer testimonials at SwissCertified.com and refer to them at websites, auction listings, emails and paper documents. Individuals who are looking for a job can host their notarized diplomas and photos. A document can be verified by visiting swisscertified.com and selecting the document . The original notarized document that was scanned can then be viewed as well as verification information supporting it's authenticity.
