Further information and specifications

Signature types offered in EASY eSignature


Sign / Signature (Advanced Electronic Signature, AES)

When you select Sign / Sign, you select the Advanced Electronic Signature (AES). It assures the sender and recipient of the same integrity (immutability) as the qualified electronic signature (QES) - but at a lower level of security, for example through simple password verification. For a large number of documents, the advanced signature is legally effective in Germany.


Qualified remote signature from Bundesdruckerei or Swisscom (qualified electronic signature, QES)

Some company-relevant documents require the written form in order to be legally valid or to achieve the greatest possible security through encryption. The qualified electronic signature (QES) is the highest and most secure signature level.
In EASY eSignature, the qualified remote signature from Bundesdruckerei or Swisscom is available. It meets the strict requirements of the eIDAS regulation for remote signatures. This has been confirmed by TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH in an elaborate test procedure, and by the Federal Network Agency through inclusion in the national eIDAS trust list.


Company seal

With the company seal, EASY eSignature also provides the option of applying a company signature to an electronic document.


Read confirmation (without signature)

Although the read confirmation is not a signature type, it is available to you as a selection option in this context. It informs you as the workflow creator when the recipient of the document has seen it.

Signature services

Within the scope of this additional service, you can sign and verify documents in EASY eSignature without having to open a workflow yourself. You can access the Signature Services page via the main menu.

In the first step, upload the document you want to sign or verify. Now you can select Advanced signature or - if you want to verify an already signed document - verify the signature(s). Select and go to Confirmation.

Confirm and the signing or verifying of the document begins. After the process is finished, you will be offered to download the document or verification report.
