WingArc1st Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President and CEO: Jun Tanaka; hereinafter, WingArc) and Cybertrust Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director, President: Yuji Kitamura; hereinafter, Cybertrust) have agreed to collaborate on promoting the domestic adoption of "trust services"*1, such as e-seals and electronic signatures, and to build a digital trust infrastructure compatible with the AI era.
Through this collaboration, in the digitalization of various forms and documents generated in commercial transactions, the authenticity will be technically guaranteed, and impersonation and alteration will be prevented. This will ensure secure data distribution, which is a prerequisite for automated analysis and data processing by AI.
Both companies will contribute to realizing a highly advanced data utilization society in the AI era by achieving both legal reliability and operational efficiency in the complete paperless transformation of inter-company transactions, and by building a trust infrastructure compliant with global standards.
Background of the Collaboration:
While the digitalization of inter-company transactions and DX are accelerating, the utilization of AI technologies, including generative AI, is rapidly advancing business automation. In today's world, where AI processes vast amounts of data at high speed and makes autonomous decisions, technically proving the authenticity of data and preventing impersonation and alteration are indispensable conditions for safely utilizing AI.
Furthermore, in March 2025, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications established "Regulations on Certification Business for e-Seals," and preparations are underway for the launch of a certification system for certification authorities that issue e-seal certificates for secure data distribution.
Companies and organizations promoting DX are also required to ensure the authenticity of electronic forms, invoices, and certificates, and the expansion of trust services is expected.
Initiatives of Both Companies:
WingArc provides "Trustee Timestamp," a Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications-certified timestamp service that proves the issuance and existence time of electronic documents for ensuring the reliability of electronic documents in inter-company transactions, as well as a digital document platform.
Cybertrust provides "iTrust Remote Signature Service," which supports long-term signatures to ensure the long-term authenticity of electronic documents, and "iTrust e-Seal Certificates," which are issued only to organizations that have undergone strict screening.
As private companies responding to the e-seal certification system promoted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, both companies will collaborate their technologies, knowledge, and services to promote the widespread adoption of a digital trust infrastructure that balances "secure data handling" and "advanced automation" in the AI era.
Specifically, they aim to develop a service that guarantees the authenticity of digital documents by applying e-seals to digital documents issued from WingArc's document platform, using e-seal certificates issued by Cybertrust, thereby realizing proof of origin and authenticity.
Future Outlook:
WingArc's digital document platform "SVF" and digital trust-related products will be integrated at a foundational level with Cybertrust's "iTrust Remote Signature Service" and "iTrust e-Seal Certificates" to promote the implementation and technical verification of trust service functions. The new service is scheduled to be launched by WingArc in Summer 2026 as a foundation supporting secure data distribution in the AI era.
(*1) What are Trust Services: A mechanism for ensuring trust that prevents alteration and impersonation in digital transactions and data utilization by verifying the authenticity of people, organizations, and data online, using electronic signatures, timestamps, e-seals, etc.
