Canon MJ and Cybertrust Team Up to Make B2B Electronic Documents Trustworthy by Default

Canon Marketing Japan Inc. and Cybertrust Co., Ltd. have started a collaboration focused on trust, with one clear goal: make electronic documents exchanged between companies harder to fake, harder to tamper with, and easier to trust. From late January 2026, the two companies will roll out an automatic e-seal assignment function for PDF documents managed under Canon MJ’s DigitalWork Accelerator Electronic Transaction Management Service, using Cybertrust’s iTrust Remote Signature Service.

At the core of this collaboration is the connection between Canon MJ’s DigitalWork Accelerator and Cybertrust’s iTrust Remote Signature Service along with the iTrust e-Seal Certificate. Once live, PDF electronic documents handled within DigitalWork Accelerator will automatically receive an e-seal, without changing how companies currently create or store documents.

This is significant for every-day B2B dealings. Clear evidence is required for documents such as invoices, estimates, and others related to the transaction as to who issued them and if they have been changed. The automatic e-seal gives evidence of issuance, minimizes the likelihood of impersonation or tampering, and secures document authenticity. For recipients, this cuts down verification work and creates a more transparent and efficient trading environment.

Cybertrust brings its credibility to the table through its electronic signature certification authority and remote signature service, both of which have obtained JIPDEC Trusted Service Registration and meet JIPDEC examination standards. By operating iTrust e-Seal Certificates and the iTrust Remote Signature Service under strict controls, Cybertrust ensures the reliability and authenticity of electronic documents.

Canon MJ plans to continue working with Cybertrust to apply e-seals across a wide range of documents generated in different industries and business scenarios. The aim is not just efficiency, but the creation of a new business model in the trust space where reliability is built into the document itself.

In practice, the experience is simple. Upload a document to DigitalWork Accelerator and the e-seal is attached automatically. Existing output and storage workflows stay the same. When opened in Adobe Reader, the recipient can immediately check whether the document has been tampered with and by whom it was issued. Through API integration, companies can also plug DigitalWork Accelerator directly into their core or business systems, enabling seamless e-seal assignment and document management as part of existing report output flows. Because the signing keys and signature execution are handled securely in the cloud, companies do not need to manage them themselves, making cloud-based remote signatures easier to adopt and operate at scale.
