Qualified electronic signature
As powerful as the handwritten or wet signature
The qualified digital signature is equivalent to the handwritten or wet signature and has the same legal value. This signature is always established with a qualified personal PKI certificate.
This type of signature is required for documents with major legal implications, such as notarial deeds, mortgage deeds, insurance policies and, in some cases, employment contracts. The qualified electronic signature is required for documents with major legal implications, such as notarial deeds, published annual statements and insurance policies.
Personal PKI certificate
If you want to use a qualified electronic signature, you need a personal or organisation-specific PKI certificate for authentication. This certificate guarantees to the highest degree your identity as a signatory. Each signed document is also co-sealed (and can therefore no longer be modified) with your own PKI certificate. This is done in addition to the sealing by the signing service provider of the document.
Watch out! EU PKI certificate mandatory!
According to eIDAS, qualified and advanced electronic signatures must use PKI certificates issued in the European Union. Pay attention to this when choosing your signing service provider.
Qualified and advanced on one document
It is possible that there are qualified and advanced electronic signatures on one document. This has to do with the use of the certificates. When you sign a certain document with your own PKI certificate, you put a qualified electronic signature. Other signers, who do not have their own PKI certificate, then put an advanced electronic signature.
