1- Types of E-Signatures
It has become much easier to sign documents with your smartphone or browser in a legally binding manner with little effort.
The electronic signature is a simple signature that is sufficient for 90 percent of all business processes. There are two higher levels for the remaining 10 percent of signatures. Namely the advanced and the qualified signature - also called digital signatures.
The advanced signature must only be assigned to the signatory and he must be able to clearly identify with it. Only the signatory may be able to generate the signature. Proof of identity can thus be used to turn a simple signature into an advanced one. At the time of creation, the qualified signature must be based on a valid qualified certificate from a trust center (e.g. D-Trust).
2- What can E-Signatures be used for?
Actually for everything that was previously signed by hand on paper, can be done electronically in today's digital age. The simple electronic signature is of higher quality than an e-mail with confirmation of receipt and applies to form-free agreements. This includes documents such as purchase orders, contracts, requests, confirmations...etc.
Wherever the simple signature is not sufficient, at least an advanced or even qualified signature is required.
