Using the Certificate
This certificate guarantees that transactions between Re-crea users and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce where the documents are stored are secure.
The digital certificate can be used to complete proceedings with the local city council, regional and state government, as well as transactions between business, such as signing contracts, approving projects and e-invoicing.
Signing e-mails and documents: When an email or document is signed, its origin can be proven, and if both sender and receiver have digital certificates, this guarantees that the content is tamper proof.
Access control to restricted areas: For companies with applications, intranets or servers with restricted access, a digital certificate is safer than a traditional login or password.
1 The Spanish electronic ID number, or dni-e, is a national ID document currently issued only to people with Spanish nationality. If you do not have the e-DNI you can apply for one at the DNI office at the national police headquarters, even if your current DNI may not have expired. To be able to use the DNI-e you will need a computer with a keyboard with a DNI-e reader or an electronic card reader and your password.
