Qualified electronic seal

A qualified electronic seal (abbreviated as QES-S) is equivalent to a qualified electronic signature that meets the conditions defined in Act No. 272/2016 Coll. on trusted services and Regulation (EU) No. 910/2014 (eIDAS), which makes it possible to safely, reliably, and unambiguously determine the legal entity that created the signature. QES-S is issued exclusively to legal entities or OVM for the purpose of creating qualified electronic seals, which represent a substitute for a physical seal and handwritten signature of a legal entity. A qualified certificate for a qualified electronic seal is issued by a certification authority, i.e., a company that is a provider of trusted services according to the eIDAS regulation and is registered in the trusted list of providers. The use of a qualified electronic seal within the framework of electronic communication between companies or various public authorities, the commercial sector, and the state itself provides authenticity, integrity and non-repudiation, thanks to which it is possible to unambiguously verify the identity of a legal entity, prove the immutability of signed documents at the time of their signing, and the signed entity cannot claim that he did not make the signature.

Difference between enhanced electronic signature and advanced electronic signature

We consider the terms “improved electronic signature” and “advanced electronic signature” interchangeable and refer to the same thing, namely an advanced electronic signature that meets the requirements set forth in the European regulation eIDAS (Regulation No. 910/2014).

Electronic signature levels: What transactions are they suitable for?

Simple, advanced and qualified electronic signatures differ mainly in the legal certainty they offer. The higher the level of legal certainty, the more suitable a particular level of electronic signature is for securing transactions of higher value. Of course, there is also a difference in the process of verifying the identity of a person or entity when issuing a certificate for a given signature.

Signing with an ID card. How to do it?

Most of us use ID card signing exclusively for communication with the authorities. However, electronic signing has a much wider application and you will appreciate it not only in the business sphere, but also in private transactions. And even with convenient signing without an ID card.
