You can offer valid and globally trusted Digital Certificates from HARICA, through the Trusted Services Reseller and Partner program.
Ιf you are interested in promoting HARICA’s Qualified Trust Services to your clients, you may contact resellers-partners-program@harica.gr for additional information.
Available options
HARICA offers three available options for resellers and partners:
Option Α (Reseller)
Offer HARICA digital certificates to your clients with the least administrative overhead. Simply collect all the necessary paperwork on behalf of your clients and forward them to HARICA’s Central Registration Authority for validation and certificate issuance. HARICA will offer support services to the Subscriber until the Certificate expires.
Option B (Partner with remote QSCD)
In case you are the owner and administrator of a remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) and interested to offer Qualified Electronic Signatures to your clients from HARICA, there is an option to interconnect directly with HARICA’s certificate issuing interface. To activate this interconnection, you will basically need to successfully complete the necessary Conformance Assessments by an External Auditor. Similarly with OPTION A, you will need to collect all the necessary paperwork on behalf of your clients and forward them to HARICA’s Central Registration Authority for validation and approval. Once the request is approved, your client will be able to automatically issue the Certificate for electronic signature using your certified infrastructure that interfaces directly with your remote QSCD. As a partner, you will offer support services to the Subscriber until the Certificate expires and HARICA will offer second-level support services to you.
Option C (Partner with remote QSCD and Registration Authority)
In case you are the owner and administrator of a remote Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) and interested to offer Qualified Electronic Signatures to your clients from HARICA with all enrollment/validation procedures under your supervision (one-stop shop), you need to be able to operate as a HARICA Registration Authority. For every certificate request, you will need to collect and validate the information in your internal Registration Authority according to agreed-upon validation procedures. Once you approve the request, the Certificate for electronic signature will automatically be issued by HARICA, using your certified infrastructure that interfaces directly with your remote QSCD. In order for you to be eligible for this option, you need to successfully complete the necessary Conformance Assessments by an External Auditor for the remote QSCD and the Registration Authority. As a partner, you will offer support services to the Subscriber until the Certificate expires, and HARICA will offer second-level support services to you.
