What is an ASICE file?

ASICE files mostly belong to DigiDoc4 Client. ASiC-E (ASICE) files are signed ZIP containers that bundle documents together with their digital signatures.
These files use the standard ZIP format to enclose one or more documents and cryptographic signature data. This method ensures that the file content remains intact and that any modification is detectable.
The primary function is to securely package legal or official documents with embedded digital signatures.
Key details provided by FilExt.com include:
  • ZIP-Based Format: The container uses ZIP compression to hold both the document and its signature data.
  • Digital Signature Integrity: The signature information is preserved within the file to verify authenticity.
  • Designated Software: It is meant to be processed with software like DigiDoc4 Client.
  • FilExt.com note: This secure container format is detailed and maintained by organizations such as the DigiDoc4 Client team. For more comprehensive guidelines, refer to the official page at id.ee.

      An .asice file contains one or more digital signature or time assertion files. "ASiC-E" stands for Associated Signature Container Extended. Associated Signature Containers (ASiC) specifies the use of container structures to bind together one or more signed objects with either advanced electronic signatures or timestamp tokens into one single digital container. Sometimes the file extension SCE is also used. This file format is classified as Data file.

    ASICE file format:

    If you know the file format, you can also find out how to open or edit the file. Each file format has a unique extension and almost always a unique signature. For example, Microsoft Word documents have the extension .docx and the signature (usually the first 3 characters in this file) PK. File extension, signature and file format must match; otherwise errors will occur when the file is opened. So you need a detailed analysis of a file to find out the format and the associated program.
