DIGICERT + QUOVADIS DIGITAL SIGNING
SERVICE CERTIFIED FOR EIDAS REMOTE
QUALIFIED SIGNING
igiCert + QuoVadis has
been certified in the
Netherlands and Belgium to
provide remote Qualified Electronic
Signatures for customers using its
cloud-based Digital Signing Service
(DSS) platform.
D
QuoVadis, acquired by DigiCert
in January 2019, is an accredited
Qualified Trust Service Provider
(QTSP) in the Netherlands and
Belgium under the EU eIDAS
regulation 910/2014 and is able to
offer EU trust services to all member
states, as well as in Switzerland
under ZertES.
Previously, customers wishing to
create eIDAS Qualified Electronic
Signatures were required to use
a Qualified Signature/Seal Creation
Device (QCSD), such as a smartcard
or cryptographic USB token, to create
and store their signing keys. Security
was largely a feature of the customer’s
physical possession of the signing device.
As companies push towards the use
of cloud platforms and mobile devices,
users wish to complete their transactions
completely online, including legally valid
signatures from any device.
The new certification attests that the
security procedures, as well as the
trustworthy systems and networks
used by DigiCert + QuoVadis (such as
the signature creation environment),
are reliable. It also ensures that only
properly identified signers have control
of their cloud-based signing keys.
