GlobalSign Launches Qualified Signing Service for eIDAS-Compliant Qualified
Electronic Signatures and Seals

QSS enables employees to secure internal documents with legally binding
electronic signatures and seals via an API to mitigate risks, enhances secure
remote working

BOSTON, MA and LONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / February 15, 2023 / GMO GlobalSign
(https://www.globalsign.com/en (https://pr.report/hdW8XtRA) ), a global
Certificate Authority (CA) and leading provider of digital signing, identity
and security solutions for the IoT, today announced the launch of Qualified
Signing Service (QSS), a new cloud-based signing service for qualified
electronic signatures and seals. GlobalSign's qualified electronic signatures
and seals comply with eIDAS (https://pr.report/XdMBtY4e)  (electronic
IDentification, Authentication and trust Services), an EU regulation for
electronic identification and trust services. Only a Qualified Trust Service
Provider (QTSP) such as GlobalSign can offer qualified signatures and seals.

Built on the foundation of our immensely popular Digital Signing Service,
GlobalSign's QSS allows enterprises, as well as service providers, to deploy
qualified electronic signatures and seals into their signing application with
a simple REST API integration for internal employee signing. In addition, QSS
gives enterprises peace of mind for those employees who sign sensitive
documents remotely.

A qualified electronic signature is an advanced electronic signature backed by
a qualified digital certificate. All qualified signatures must meet numerous
requirements, such as a signatory which must be linked and uniquely identified
to the signature. The data used to create the qualified signature must be
under the sole control of a signatory.

In addition, the qualified signature must be able to identify if any data
accompanying the signature has been tampered with after the message was
signed. Therefore, a qualified signature can also mitigate the risk for
specific documents, contracts, and tasks.

"We launched QSS because companies need the ability to issue legally binding
electronic signatures for their employees. That is what qualified signatures
are, but you can only get them from a QTSP such as GlobalSign," said Mohit
Kumar, product manager, GlobalSign. "Another key benefit of using QSS is that
it will help companies stay compliant with eIDAS and employees can securely
sign critical documents and contracts anytime, anywhere."

Benefits of QSS

·      Mitigates risks by verifying the signee of the document

·      Provides legally binding Qualified Signatures and Seals

·      Compliant with the eIDAS regulation

·      Cloud-based with no hardware or PKI-expertise required

·      Easy authentication through a mobile app for employees

QSS will be particularly useful for multiple industries, from fintech, legal,
government and education to insurance, recruitment, healthcare and auditors.
Powered by GlobalSign's certificate automation platform Atlas, and delivered
through API integration and mobile authentication, there is no hardware (such
as tokens) or PKI expertise needed. QSS is the signing solution to meet your
internal employee signing needs. To learn more about GlobalSign QSS,
