Service Description easy eSignature<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

1 General Information <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1.1 easyeSignature – This is how you sign today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • With the pandemic, the economy has experienced a big push in digitalization. The demands of the changing ways of working in the home office and mobile working have dispelled doubts among companies about digitalization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Paper-based signature processes no longer do justice to the changed, mobile ways of working! The digital signature is an essential building block in digitalization, with which the last remaining paper-based processes can be digitalised. The last system and media breaks are finally eliminated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • easyeSignature is the digital signature solution that enables digital transactions between two or more recipients or contractual partners. From any terminal device and with just a few clicks. Within minutes, documents can be digitally signed and electronically sent from anywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    1.2 Forms of the electronic signature<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Simple electronic signature\n
        \n
      • The simple electronic signature consists of data in electronic form which is attached to or logically connected with other electronic data and which the signatory uses to sign (Art. 3 No. 10 eIDAS Regulation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The simple electronic signature is – to put it simply – an image file that you insert into your document. You can use it to add a visual signature to your digital document, but it is not tamper-proof.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Since we pursue higher security standards with easy<\/strong> eSignature, we only offer the following two signature variants:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Advanced electronic signature\n
            \n
          • The advanced electronic signature (FES) includes additional requirements to prevent the easy manipulation of “simple” electronic signatures (Art. 3 No. 11 in conjunction with Art. 26 eIDAS Regulation).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • The advanced electronic signature (AES) assures both the sender and the recipient of the integrity of the document: a check of the signature shows that it has not been changed – in the event of manipulation, it would become invalid. If you as the sender decide to use the SMS-TAN procedure for additional security, you also increase the security of your counterpart’s identity – you also ensure that your document really reaches the person you want to reach with it. The advanced signature is sufficient and legally effective for the majority of documents in Germany (for example, for offers and orders, brokerage documents, delivery notes, insurance contracts, etc.), provided that the AES is specified as sufficient for these.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
              \n
            • Qualified electronic signature, eiDAS certified\n
                \n
              • A qualified electronic signature is a QES pursuant to Art. 26 eIDAS Regulation which has been created by a qualified electronic signature creation device and is based on a qualified certificate of a qualified trust service provider for electronic signatures (Art. 3 No. 12 eIDAS Regulation). The QES corresponds to the legal written form.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • The qualified electronic signature (QES) is the highest and most secure signature level in Europe. In order to apply such a signature to a digital document, the signatory must uniquely identify himself once. Depending on the provider and country, this can be done using the VideoIdent, on-site ID or PostIdent procedure. Identification is also possible with the help of the electronic identity card (eID). Identification is an absolute must here: the QES is personal and, according to eIDAS, the substitute for the manual signature. You can use it to sign legally valid contracts such as a digital rental agreement or a tax return.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
