You can electronically sign documents, files, forms and other data types when you use a qualified e signature. A qualified signature is a digital signature which functions the same except it is also recognized to meet EU regulations for legally binding signatures. This kind of solution is ideal for businesses and organizations operating on a global scale to ensure all of their electronically signed data is able to be used anywhere in the United States as well as the European Union.
Convert an E Signature into a Qualified Digital Signature by Using a Certificate Authority System
In order to make an e signature qualified it has to be converted into a digital signature using a certificate authority system. Without the use of a certificate authority system the electronic signature will not be secure nor is it be recognized as meeting the EU guidelines. Using secure electronic signatures provides several benefits to global companies including replacing the need for physical signatures and paperwork.
