integrity of the document, and the reliability of the process. Under the eIDAS regulation, only a qualified signature, supported by a certificate issued by a trusted service provider, enjoys a <strong>strong legal presumption of reliability<\/strong>. However, this level of signature is rarely used due to its cost; consequently, simple or advanced signatures are the most widely adopted.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, recent case law shows that courts now scrutinise the technical evidence file in detail, regardless of the signature level. A solid file must include a <strong>structured audit<\/strong>, a <strong>qualified timestamp<\/strong> ensuring a definitive date, <strong>clear documentation<\/strong> of the steps taken, and, when relevant, an <strong>electronic seal<\/strong> securing the entire process.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, integrating timestamping and electronic seals into your electronic signatures not only enhances their

cryptographic mechanism that links the identity of a signatory to a digital document. When the document is signed, a unique digital fingerprint (hash) of the document is generated and then associated with the signatory\u2019s certificate. Any subsequent modification of the document invalidates this fingerprint, thereby ensuring document integrity. Depending on the level of signature used (simple, advanced or qualified), the degree of identity verification and security varies.

A verification tool confirms that the document has not been altered since it was signed and that the certificate was valid at the time the signatory entered into the commitment. For qualified electronic signatures, verification also includes checking the European trust chain. The presence of an associated qualified timestamp may further strengthen the verification process by establishing the reliable date and time of the signature.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=\u201dHow can a qualified electronic signature be obtained?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.4\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d title_text_color=\u201d#0c0171\u2033 title_level=\u201dh3\u2033 title_font=\u201dPoppins|300|||||||\u201d title_font_size=\u201d28px\u201d title_line_height=\u201d1.3em\u201d body_font=\u201d||||||||\u201d body_font_size=\u201d18px\u201d body_line_height=\u201d1.4em\u201d background_color=\u201d#FFFFFF\u201d custom_padding=\u201d40px||0px||false|false\u201d title_font_size_tablet=\u201d\u201d title_font_size_phone=\u201d20px\u201d title_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d body_font_size_tablet=\u201d18px\u201d body_font_size_phone=\u201d17px\u201d body_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d border_width_all=\u201d0px\u201d border_width_top=\u201d1px\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>To obtain a qualified electronic signature, it is necessary to use a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) within the meaning of the eIDAS Regulation. The identity of the signatory must first be verified through strict identification procedures before a qualified certificate can be issued. This certificate is then used through a secure signature creation device. This level of signature is generally recommended for documents carrying significant legal or regulatory implications.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=\u201dHow can an electronic signature be secured?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.4\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d title_text_color=\u201d#0c0171\u2033 title_level=\u201dh3\u2033 title_font=\u201dPoppins|300|||||||\u201d title_font_size=\u201d28px\u201d title_line_height=\u201d1.3em\u201d body_font=\u201d||||||||\u201d body_font_size=\u201d18px\u201d body_line_height=\u201d1.4em\u201d background_color=\u201d#FFFFFF\u201d custom_padding=\u201d40px||0px||false|false\u201d title_font_size_tablet=\u201d\u201d title_font_size_phone=\u201d20px\u201d title_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d body_font_size_tablet=\u201d18px\u201d body_font_size_phone=\u201d17px\u201d body_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d border_width_all=\u201d0px\u201d border_width_top=\u201d1px\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>The security of an electronic signature relies on several elements: reliable identification of the signatory, the use of a recognised certificate, the integrity of the signed document, and, where appropriate, the association of a certified timestamp. Integrating the signature process within a secure environment, combined with full traceability of operations, further strengthens its evidential reliability. Combining a qualified electronic signature with qualified timestamping ensures both the identity of the signatory and the reliable date of the commitment.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=\u201dHow can an electronic signature certificate be obtained?\u201d _builder_version=\u201d4.27.4\u2033 _module_preset=\u201ddefault\u201d title_text_color=\u201d#0c0171\u2033 title_level=\u201dh3\u2033 title_font=\u201dPoppins|300|||||||\u201d title_font_size=\u201d28px\u201d title_line_height=\u201d1.3em\u201d body_font=\u201d||||||||\u201d body_font_size=\u201d18px\u201d body_line_height=\u201d1.4em\u201d background_color=\u201d#FFFFFF\u201d custom_padding=\u201d40px||0px||false|false\u201d title_font_size_tablet=\u201d\u201d title_font_size_phone=\u201d20px\u201d title_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d body_font_size_tablet=\u201d18px\u201d body_font_size_phone=\u201d17px\u201d body_font_size_last_edited=\u201don|phone\u201d border_width_all=\u201d0px\u201d border_width_top=\u201d1px\u201d global_colors_info=\u201d{}\u201d theme_builder_area=\u201dpost_content\u201d]<\/p>\n<p>An electronic signature certificate is issued by a Trust Service Provider following verification of the applicant\u2019s identity.
