Audited identification methods for eIDAS-compliant e-signatures by Swisscom Trust Services

Audited identification methods for eIDAS-compliant e-signatures

All identification methods available in our portfolio are approved and audited for the subsequent use of e-signatures in accordance with the EU regulation eIDAS. These different processes verify users' identities through valid IDs or other recognized documents. A successfull identification requires a valid ID card, an  eID function, a valid passport, or access to a recognized identity provider (IDP) such as an active bank account.

Broker-orchestrated registration, identification, and e-signature by Swisscom Trust Services

Broker-orchestrated registration, identification, and e-signature

Our remote signing platform includes a broker that orchestrates electronic signatures, online identification, and approval methods for a signature application provider. The broker provides the appropriate signature approval method to the signer. If this method is not yet registered, the broker also handles the registration and identification of the signer. Additionally, there is the option to use multiple identification methods as a backup in case the initially selected method fails for the signer. Then, the user can approve and trigger the e-signature in a digital signing process. The orchestration is decision-based, depending on the requirements of the specific jurisdiction (EU or Switzerland) and the signature level (qualified or advanced).

Do you have your own identification solution?

As a customer or identity provider (IDP), you can connect your identification solution with our remote signing software. This integration requires compliance with legal requirements (eIDAS and ZertES), applicable regulations, and an implementation concept, including an audit. Swisscom Trust Services will assist you in creating the implementation concept and support you during the audit process. In addition, we will submit your identification solution to the responsible authorities for certification as an identification method for e-signatures.
