AES_Intro

Advanced Digital Signature (AES)

AES offers a higher level of security by verifying the identity of the signers. It is legally binding and suitable for most business transactions.

• Security Features: AES involves an identification process and uses two-factor authentication (2FA) methods. Each signer is issued a short-term, nominative digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA). More on AES identification methods. More on AES authentication methods.

Digital/Advanced signatures:

• Have an identification process
• Use a 2FA electronic authentication method using knowledge, possession and inherent factors
• Use a digital certificate from a Certificate Authority (CA) to authenticate a signer's identity
• Demonstrates proof of signing by binding the digital certificate associated with each signature to the document using encryption
• Both certificates' validity and authenticity, and therefore signatures, can be checked independently of the provider
• Have a high probative value
