Description	BDOC is a digital signature format developed in 2014 to replace the old DDOC (DigiDoc) digital signature format in Estonia. Compared to DDOC, an important modification is that a .bdoc file is in fact a ZIP container with the signed files, the signatures and the protocol control information and can be opened by any program that recognises the ZIP format.
