In the digital age, the electronic signature is becoming the standard for validating contracts, agreements, and many other documents.
What is an electronic signature?
An electronic signature is the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature, allowing you to give your approval on documents electronically. It associates the signatory with the document, thereby attesting their approval. This verification can be done via IP address, email authentication, among others, reliably and securely guaranteeing the signatory's identity.
The different types of electronic signatures
There are three main categories of electronic signatures, adapted to different levels of sensitivity and legal requirements:
Simple Electronic Signature (SES): Perfect for a wide variety of documents, the SES requires basic verification and is suitable for less important agreements.
Advanced Electronic Signature (AES): Used for documents with greater legal and financial implications, the AES offers enhanced security by establishing a strong link between the signature and the signatory.
Qualified Electronic Signature (QES): Offering the highest level of security, the QES is essential for official or heavily regulated documents, such as public contracts, medical records, or certain specific commercial operations.
Although these categories offer different levels of security, it should be noted that eIDAS and ETSI standards do not introduce specific requirements for the SES, which highlights its flexibility and broad applicability.
