EDICOM, Electronic Qualified Trust Service Provider in Europe

A qualified trust service provider has the relevant credentials and the appropriate technology to provide specific electronic identification services enabling e-Signatures.

This type of provider provides both individuals and legal entities with secure electronic identification mechanisms to carry out activities where the e-Signature replaces the handwritten signature with the same legal guarantees.

The types of e-Signatures are defined in Directive 1999/93/EC, although their recognition has been extended and standardized through the eIDAS Regulation.

The eIDAS Regulation Recognizes Three Types of e-Signatures According to Their Security Level

Simple e-Signature

This is the simplest and also the most widely used. It is defined as "data in electronic form attached to other electronic data or logically associated with them, used as a means of authentication." The type of transaction will determine the suitability of its use, and it is valid in a multitude of contexts.

Advanced e-Signature

It is generated from a recognized electronic certificate issued by an accredited supplier that identifies the signatory, whether an individual or a legal entity, utilizing keys. It is linked to the signed data so that any modification can be detected, providing full guarantees on the integrity and authenticity of the signed documents.

eIDAS Qualified e-Signature

It meets the technical requirements of the advanced e-Signature. In addition, an e-Signature is generated from a certificate recognized with a secure signature creation device such as a USB token, cryptographic card, or HSM device such as those used by the EDICOM Trust Service Provider signature service.

Advantages of the eIDAS Qualified e-Signature in Your Operations

Equivalence

The Qualified e-Signature is the only equivalent to the handwritten signature, with the same legal validity, in all European Union member countries.

Integrity and Authenticity

The Qualified e-Signature allows the identification of the data source and the signatory. It guarantees the integrity and authenticity of the signed document.

Repudiation

It offers proof of traceability, so that sender and recipient cannot deny sending or receiving the document. This increases legal security.

ECS (EDICOM Crypto Server)

EDICOM Crypto Server (ECS) is the electronic document signature service based on certificates stored in EDICOM servers.

Thus, the problems associated with using secure devices such as Smartcards or HSMs are solved, with ECS taking responsibility for the management and security of the device used to generate e-Signatures.

Delegated e-Signature

In practice, this service means that the client authorizes EDICOM to sign their electronic documents with the same validity as signing themselves.

After the corresponding authorization, EDICOM signs with its own certificate and secure signature creation systems. The document holder is exempted from the formalities associated with maintaining and managing certificates or signature devices.

This signature modality may only be put into service in those cases in which the legislation expressly allows it and for those documents in which this possibility is specifically recognized.
