Trusted Services Provisioning
Introduction
Trust Services establish the foundation for secure and legally compliant digital interactions by ensuring the authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of electronic data and communications. They enable organizations to conduct fully digital processes—such as signing, sealing, timestamping, and authentication—with the same legal validity as their paper-based counterparts, across borders and industries.
Qualified eSignature
Our Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) delivers the highest level of legal validity under EU eIDAS regulation, fully replacing handwritten signatures across all member states.
Designed for efficiency and compliance, it enables secure, remote signing without the need for physical hardware or smartcard readers.
With robust identity verification and advanced cryptographic protection, our cloud-based QES ensures integrity, authenticity, and legal enforceability of every signature.
Ideal for regulated industries and cross-border transactions, it streamlines digital workflows while meeting the most stringent legal standards in the EU.
Qualified eSeal
Our Qualified Electronic Seal (QSeal) provides court-admissible proof of a document’s integrity and origin, ensuring it has not been altered and verifiably originates from your organization.
As the digital equivalent of a company stamp, it offers the highest level of assurance under the EU’s eIDAS regulation—recognized across all member states.
Cloud-based and hardware-free, our QSeal enables secure, automated sealing of documents at scale, ideal for invoices, reports, and official correspondence.
With strong cryptographic safeguards and long-term validation, it protects your brand, streamlines compliance, and builds trust in every transaction.
Qualified eTimestamp
Our Qualified Electronic Timestamp delivers irrefutable, court-recognized proof that a document existed at a specific point in time—guaranteed under the EU’s eIDAS regulation.
It anchors the creation or signing of digital content to a trusted, independent time source, ensuring legal certainty and long-term evidential value.
Whether applied to contracts, logs, or records, our Qualified Timestamp protects against backdating, manipulation, and disputes over timing.
Fully compliant and tamper-proof, it provides a reliable foundation for audit trails, regulatory filings, and digital trust across borders.
Advanced eSignature
Our Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) leverages the Adobe Approved Trust List (AATL)—a globally recognized trust framework—for seamless, cross-border validation of digital signatures.
By issuing certificates trusted under the AATL, we ensure that signatures are instantly verifiable in Adobe Acrobat and other major PDF platforms, without additional setup.
AdES binds the signer’s identity and intent to the document using robust cryptographic methods, ensuring authenticity and integrity.
Ideal for high-trust business processes, it enables globally interoperable digital signing while delivering a smooth user experience.
PSD2 Certificates
Our Qualified Certificates for Electronic Seals and Website Authentication under the PSD2 framework provide trusted, verified digital identities for banks and third-party providers across the EU payments ecosystem.
Mandated by PSD2 and aligned with eIDAS, these certificates ensure secure communication and authenticated access to financial APIs by confirming both the origin and integrity of transmitted data.
As part of the EU’s regulatory technical standards (RTS), they enable compliant, tamper-proof identification of Payment Service Providers (PSPs) in online environments.
Issued by a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP), these certificates form the backbone of digital trust for secure, regulated financial transactions across Europe.
