Qualified Electronic Signatures and Seals

Advantages of using our platform

Electronic signatures and seals are electronic data, attached to or logically associated with other electronic data, ensuring the origin and integrity of the latter.

According to the eIDAS Regulation, to be considered “qualified,” electronic signatures and seals must be created by a secure device exclusively controlled by the signer and must be based on qualified certificates issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
Qualified electronic signatures and seals have strong evidentiary power, as they demonstrate a unique link between the subscriber and the used signature or seal.

A qualified electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature, and a qualified electronic seal is presumed to guarantee the integrity of the data and correctness of the origin of the associated data.

Main features:

  • Validity across Europe

  • Use of certificate issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider

FAQ

Qualified electronic signatures and seals are advanced security mechanisms for digital documents that comply with European eIDAS regulations. They provide high evidentiary power, linking the document uniquely to its signer or creator, guaranteeing authenticity, integrity, and legal validity.

To obtain a qualified electronic signature or seal, you need to use a secure signing device under the exclusive control of the signer, and the signature or seal must be based on a qualified certificate issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP).

Both advanced and qualified electronic signatures offer security and data integrity, but qualified electronic signatures meet higher legal and technical standards—they use qualified certificates and secure devices, granting full legal equivalence to handwritten signatures throughout the EU.

Electronic signatures and seals are preserved using long-term archiving systems, applying digital signatures and timestamps in compliance with current regulations, ensuring their integrity, legal value, and retrievability for years.

Timestamps are digital markers that record the exact time a document is signed or sealed. They verify the date and time of the operation, ensuring authenticity and protecting against fraud or disputes.

The ETSI certification covers international standards for information security, quality management, and trust service interoperability, including ETSI EN 319 401/411/412/421/TS 119 511, ensuring high levels of reliability and regulatory compliance.
