Product details

The EU’s regulation on electronic identification and trust services (eIDAS) has simplified the procedure for online signatures. The components now used to generate the signature are not stored on a card, but in the secure IT environment of a qualified trust service provider (previously referred to as a trust center). This means that the electronic signature can now also be triggered remotely, for instance, using tablets and smartphones.

One-stop solution for all signature levels

sign-me enables the use of all the signature levels laid down in the eIDAS Regulation: from simple to advanced right through to qualified electronic online signatures. The latter meets the written form requirement and has the same legal standing as a hand-written signature.

sign-me is a web-based, one-stop solution for remote signatures: from user identification to the online signature. All your customers need is a PC or tablet, an Internet connection and a smartphone.

Various secure procedures can be used for the required initial verification of identity, including the online ID function with the German ID card, online identification and point-of-sale identification.

The first eIDAS-compliant remote signature ‘Made in Germany’

Online signatures with sign-me meet the strict requirements of the eIDAS Regulation for remote signatures. This was confirmed by TÜV Informationstechnik GmbH and the Federal Network Agency with sign-me’s inclusion in the eIDAS National Trusted List. This means that sign-me is Germany’s first eIDAS-compliant remote signature solution.

FAQs

What is a digital signature?

You can use a digital signature to sign a document (e.g. a loan agreement) online and without paper. This accelerates processes and saves costs. The EU‑wide eIDAS Regulation provides the legal framework for this and defines the legal effect of electronically signed documents and their probative value in court.

You can use sign‑me for simple, advanced and qualified signatures. The qualified electronic signature has the highest level. Contracts, such as employee leasing, consumer loans or disposal certificates, are typical cases in which the qualified signature is used. The qualified signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature and thus replaces the written form on paper. Simple and/or advanced signatures are used for most company form and approval processes as well as for formless agreements.
