The unique combination of eIDAS QSCD certification and ‘What You See Is What You Sign’ (WYSIWYS) functionality creates a new standard for non-repudiable remote electronic signatures. Thus, Signer’s certification raises the bar in non-repudiation for remote e-signature services.
Cryptomathic assists multiple trust services providers and banks to enable their customers to electronically sign documents and transactions at a high assurance level.
