Qualified Electronic Signature

What is Qualified Electronic Signature?

A qualified electronic signature (QES) is a safe electronic signature with the same legal standing as a handwritten signature. It is based on a special certificate that unequivocally establishes its validity and has all the features of an advanced electronic signature. Companies and institutions can demonstrate their identification in electronic data transactions, such as legal transactions on the Internet and as a component of other agreements, by using a qualified electronic signature.
