IGC-Santé (Health CKI)
A platform to help streamline and secure health data transmission
What is a software certificate?
A software certificate is a digital component that acts as a digital ID to authorize remotely a natural person (a healthcare professional) or a legal person (a healthcare structure). The software certificate contains information about its owner, certified by a third-party entity named “certifying authority”.
The main goal of the certificate is to protect data. In order to do so, the certificate has several functions:
- Identify a user in a secure and strong manner;
- Sign documents remotely (digital signature);
- Data encryption and decryption.
The ANS is the certifying authority for the health sector. We issue software certificate to guarantee safe data transmission between healthcare professionals.
To enable you to develop and test secure applications for CPS cards or software certificates, we provide you with tools:
- Technical toolkits, guides and application components;
- Test cards and test certificates.

The certificates that the ANS issues are an official means to identify the players of the health sector, persons and organisations. Certificates also act as a seal of quality, making sure that the issuing cryptographic key infrastructures (CKP) are conform to the sector’s best practice standards. Certificates can be revoked in case of failure to comply.
