Introduction I.1. Subject Within the framework of the [eIDAS] regulation, ANSSI, designated as a supervisory body by the note from the French authorities [NOTIFICATION], has the task of supervising compliance with the requirements of the regulation by the qualified trust service providers and the conformity of the qualified trust services they provide. This note describes the criteria for conformity assessment with the requirements of the [eIDAS] regulation of the qualified validation services for qualified electronic signatures and qualified electronic seals. These requirements apply in cumulative manner with those described in the note [PSCO_QUALIF], applicable to all qualified trust service providers. I.2. Legal framework The qualified validation services for qualified electronic signatures and qualified electronic seals implemented by a trust service provider which comply with the requirements specified in chapter II of this document make it possible to provide a legal certainty concerning the validity of the qualified electronic signatures and qualified electronic seals such as defined by the [eIDAS] regulation. I.3. Updating The opportunity to update this document is evaluated by ANSSI and can in particular result from a change in the regulatory or standards framework linked to the [eIDAS] regulation or from a change in the state of the art. ANSSI specifies the effective date of each update and the particulars for transition where applicable. I.4. Acronyms The acronyms used in this reference document are: ANSSI Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information (National Cybersecurity Agency of France). CSPN Certification de Sécurité de Premier Niveau (first level security certification). OCSP Online Certificate Status Protocol. TSP Trust Service Provider.

Requirements relating to qualified validation services for qualified electronic signatures and seals II.1. Qualification terms II.1.1. Qualification process The process for qualifying a validation service for qualified electronic signatures and seals is part of the process of qualifying a trust service provider, such as described in note [PSCO_QUALIF]. II.1.2. Considerations relating to the inclusion into the trusted list A qualified validation service for qualified electronic signatures and seals is identified in the trusted list: - by means of the electronic certificate used to apply the seal of the TSP on the validation report; or - by means of the electronic certificate from a certification authority operated under the responsibility of the qualified TSP, solely for its own needs, and not issuing any certificates for non-qualified validation services. In the first case, if several certificates for electronic seals are implemented for the same qualified validation service, this gives rise to the inclusion of several services in the trusted list. In the second case, the conformity assessment must make it possible to demonstrate that this certification authority issues certificates only for the exclusive attention of trust services operated by the qualified TSP, and that the latter has set up appropriate organisational and technical measures in order to ensure that none of the certificates issued is used by a non-qualified validation service.

In part one, Osborne Clarke provides a legal opinion on the legal validity of electronic signature in the European Union. Part two has been prepared by OneSpan, and summarizes best practices recommendations for legal compliance when implementing e-signatures. eIDAS & E-SIGNATURE: A LEGAL PERSPECTIVE FOLLOW US 2 PART 1 Introduction The 2014 Regulation on Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transaction in the Internal Market1 (“eIDAS”) went into effect throughout the European Union (“EU”) on 1 July 2016, replacing the 1999 Directive on electronic signatures2 (“the Directive”). Although the Directive had not been the subject of any disputes in its 16-year history, neither had it been a success. Its objective, to enable the widespread use of electronic signatures to conduct business across borders within the EU, was not met. There Are Three Key Reasons for This: I. Most EU Member States’ laws do not specify any form of signature for commercial contracts other than guarantees or contracts assigning real property. II. Many people mistakenly believed that the Directive mandated the use of advanced electronic signatures supported by a qualified certificate3 in order for an electronic signature to be legally effective.

  • Eidas Regulation Questions & Answers
    eIDAS Regulation Questions & Answers on rules applicable to Trust Services as of 1 July 2016 The eIDAS Regulation (Regulation (EU) N°910/2014) on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (eIDAS Regulation) adopted by the co-legislators on 23 July 2014 is a milestone as it provides a predictable regulatory environment for electronic identification and trust services, including electronic signatures, seals, time stamps, registered delivery and website authentication. As of 1 July 2016, the provisions applicable to trust services apply directly in the 28 Member States. This means that trust services under eIDAS are no longer regulated by national laws. As a result, the qualified trust services are recognised independently of the Member State where the Qualified Trust Service Provider is established or where the specific qualified trust service is offered. What’s new? What changes with regard to the former eSignature Directive? What must be done at national level? How does it impact market operators? How does it benefit the users (citizens, businesses and public administrations)? What has the Commission done to facilitate the switchover? These questions and many others have been asked along the road since the adoption. We have compiled this Q&A document to help those of you who need to fully understand the new legal framework in order to implement it or reap the benefits of electronic transactions, as well as those of you who are curious about the Regulation’s various implications. I. What is new? How will the legal effect of electronic signature change under eIDAS (compared to the regime under the eSignature Directive) as from 1 July 2016? Since 1 July 2016, when the trust services’ provisions under the eIDAS Regulation entered into application, an electronic signature can only be used by a natural person to “sign”, i.e.

  • As a Leading Trust Service Provider in Europe, We Enable the Most Innovative Digital Business Models
    As a leading trust service provider in Europe, we enable the most innovative digital business models. Swisscom Trust Services makes Mobile ID internationally available with the app version and expands the signature portfolio Mobile ID enables digital expressions of intent using two-factor authentication // Fully integrated signature solution shortens go-to-market from several months to 2-3 weeks Frankfurt, 20th April 2020 - Swisscom Trust Services, the only European provider of a qualified electronic signature in accordance with eIDAS and ZertES, is now offering its Mobile ID authentication solution not only in Switzerland but also internationally in the form of a smartphone app. In contrast to the Swiss market, the Mobile ID app is independent of the SIM card and the mobile network and uses either the biometric functions of the smartphone or the device PIN for authentication if the biometric cap- ture does not work or is not supported by the device. Swisscom Trust Services thus of- fers all components for a qualified electronic signature in accordance with eIDAS from a single source, which in many cases is legally equivalent to a manual signature. "With the expansion of Mobile ID beyond Switzerland, we now offer a complete pack- age for the electronic signature internationally. This enables companies and partners to integrate a complete signature solution into their processes in two to three weeks and thus to digitise themselves more quickly," says Marco Schmid, Head of Interna- tional Expansion Strategy at Swisscom Trust Services. "At the same time, our offer is flexible enough to integrate proprietary identification or authentication solutions ret- rospectively.
