It supports various types of digital certificates and can handle documents in multiple formats. Version 1.7.2 comes with several enhancements and bug fixes aimed at improving user experience and functionality.
Autofirma is an open-source application developed by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation. Its core mission is to allow citizens and civil servants to sign any type of electronic document using their recognized digital certificate (e.g., DNIda 3.0, FNMT, or digital certificates from recognized authorities). Version 1.7.2, released as part of the ongoing maintenance cycle, does not introduce radical new features but instead refines stability, security, and compatibility. This iterative approach is crucial: public software must work reliably across millions of different devices, browsers, and operating systems. Autofirma 1.7.2 focuses on fixing critical bugs from earlier versions, improving integration with Java Web Start (deprecated but still used in legacy environments), and ensuring compliance with the eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) regulation, which governs electronic trust services across the European Union. autofirma 1.7.2
