Timestamps
Entaksi Solutions SpA operates a qualified electronic timestamp service, pursuant to Article 42 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS) and in compliance with standard ETSI EN 319 421.
Qualified electronic timestamping creates legally binding proof of existence in a given form at a precise moment, guaranteeing its confirmed date and integrity: a fundamental element, for example, for extending the validity of digital signatures, financial transactions or legal proceedings.
Long-Term Preservation of Signatures and Seals
Entaksi provides a qualified preservation service for qualified electronic signatures and seals. The service can extend the reliability of the qualified electronic signature beyond its technological validity period, as specified in Article 34 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS). This service also applies to qualified electronic seals, as specified in Article 40 of the Regulation.
The service supports the following preservation profiles:
- 1.3.6.1.4.1.57823.2.1.1 – Legacy preservation profile.
- 1.3.6.1.4.1.57823.2.1.3 – Long-term preservation profile for general data and digital signatures with storage and augmentation 2024-01.
The preservation profile supports a preservation schema composed of the WST storage model (with storage), and the preservation objectives PGD (preservation of general data), PDS (preservation of digital signatures) and AUG (augmentation).
The following URI identifies the preservation schema: http://uri.etsi.org/19512/scheme/pds+pgd+wst+aug
In the “Documentation” section you will find the documents relating to the qualified preservation service for qualified electronic signatures and seals, provided in accordance with the requirements of Articles 34 and 40 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS), compliant with standard ETSI TS 119 511.
In the “Contractual Terms” section, a template of the service’s contractual terms is provided, as required by standard ETSI EN 319 401.
Qualified Validation of Signatures and Seals
Entaksi provides a qualified validation service for qualified electronic signatures and qualified electronic seals, pursuant to Articles 33 and 40 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS). The service verifies the validity of qualified signatures and seals, reliably returning the validation outcome to the requester, accompanied by a validation report sealed by the Trust Service Provider.
The validation process complies with the procedures defined by standard ETSI EN 319 102-1 and with the policies and security requirements set out in standards ETSI TS 119 441 and TS 119 442.
Management of Qualified Devices for Remote Electronic Signatures

The service allows the subscriber to apply qualified electronic signatures or seals without a physical device: the signature creation data is generated, held and used on behalf of the signer inside a qualified device (QSCD) managed by Entaksi in a high-security environment, guaranteeing that the signer retains sole control over their signature data.
The service is provided in compliance with standards ETSI TS 119 431-1/-2 and ETSI TS 119 432 and with the requirements for remote signature systems.
Qualified Electronic Archiving
Entaksi provides a qualified electronic archiving service, pursuant to Article 45j(2) of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014, as introduced by Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 (eIDAS 2). The service guarantees the preservation of electronic data and documents using methods that ensure their integrity, accuracy of origin and legal characteristics throughout the entire archiving period, and benefits from the legal presumption provided by the Regulation: legal effect cannot be denied to data archived through a qualified service solely on the grounds of its electronic form or of the archiving itself.
The service is provided in compliance with the requirements of standard CEN/TS 18170:2025.
AgID Qualified Preservation
To provide reliable preservation services compliant with multiple regulatory frameworks, Entaksi Solutions SpA has obtained the qualification as a preserver of digital documents from the Agency for Digital Italy and is registered in the Preservation Services Marketplace.
Registration guarantees compliance with the security, integrity and immutability requirements for digital documents as defined in the “Regulation on the criteria for the provision of digital document preservation services“, published in December 2021.
Qualified preservers are required to publish the Preservation Manual, drafted in accordance with the “Guidelines on the formation, management and preservation of digital documents“.
Advanced Electronic Signature (FEA)
Entaksi Solutions SpA has developed an Advanced Electronic Signature (FEA) service, a type of electronic signature that guarantees the integrity and immutability of the signed document and the unambiguous identification of the signer.
Pursuant to Article 26 of Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 eIDAS, an advanced electronic signature must be:
- uniquely linked to the signer;
- capable of identifying the signer;
- created using electronic signature creation data that the signer can, with a high level of confidence, use under their sole control;
- linked to the data signed in such a way that any subsequent change to that data can be detected.
