Introducing the revamped eSignature Validator
On behalf of the European Commission, we are excited to introduce the revamped version of the eSignature Validator! This user-friendly yet powerful tool is now integrated into the eIDAS Dashboard for hassle-free electronic signature validation.
In compliance with Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS) and based on the latest ETSI standards, this tool complies with the most up-to-date electronic signature validation technical specifications. Businesses and citizens exchanging electronically signed documents with the European Commission, can take stock of this tool since it implements Commission’s electronic signatures’ validation policy (“validation policy” hereafter). You can download and consult the so-called, signature applicability rules via this link.
How it works:
Users of this tool, need to authenticate with their personal EU Login[1] account and upload the electronically signed document they wish to be validated. The validation’s result color, indicates the technical qualification level of the signature. This ensures a straightforward interpretation of the signature's value, facilitating a simple validation process accessible to any citizen, without compromising precision in regulatory validation.
- Green : The Signature (or seal) is Qualified under the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS).
- Orange : The Signature (or seal) is notQualified under the Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 (eIDAS), its acceptability depends on the recipient's policy.
- Red : The Signature (or seal) is invalid.
Two-step validation approach:
The eSignature Validator focuses on technical validation. Once this step is completed, businesses are encouraged to conduct a business validation to confirm the signer's authorization, ensuring maximum security in electronic transactions.
Focus on data privacy:
For those curious about the technical intricacies, our validator is retaining only essential information like validation date, file format, and size, without collecting any personal data.
