The majority of electronic signatures created are “simple” signatures (SES) because they are unbeatable in terms of user-friendliness and ease of use.
Requirements
There are no fixed requirements for the EES and they are not listed in the eIDAS. Here, a document can be signed with 2 clicks, without identity verification and without consent. The signatories could theoretically simply deny that they signed the document. The EES can also be in the form of a scanned signature or the abbreviation that is scribbled on the terminal by the parcel deliverer.
With tegolySIGN, however, the evidentiary value for internal documents is strengthened, as we are dealing with signatories who are already identified in the AD (Active Directory). For external signers, we store time and IP address in the certificate file. This increases the evidential value and, in the event of legal disputes, the credibility of the signature and the document. In the certificate file, every step can be traced for internal and external signatories.
