Signature Types in eSignAnyWhere
| Signature Typetype | AES | QES | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Click to Sign | depending on a second factor or use case | no | Is a simple signature, where the signer has to click on the signature to sign the field. In combination with an additional element (under sole control of the signer) it is a AES. We recommend to use the authentication (e.g. SMS-OTP) to ensure it. Please verify the use case to ensure that the authentication methods are under sole control of the signer. |
| Draw to Sign | depending on a second factor or use case | no | Is a simple signature, where the signer can record a signature (e.g. via mouse, finger) to sign the field in form of a picture (no biometric data). In combination with an additional element (under sole control of the signer) it is a AES. We recommend to use the authentication (e.g. SMS-OTP) to ensure it. Please verify the use case to ensure that the authentication methods are under sole control of the signer. |
| Type to Sign | depending on a second factor or use case | no | Is a simple signature, where the signer can type his signature, which is used as picture for the signature. In combination with an additional element (under sole control of the signer) it is a AES. We recommend to use the authentication (e.g. SMS-OTP) to ensure it. Please verify the use case to ensure that the authentication methods are under sole control of the signer. |
| Biometric Signature | Yes | No | The biometric signature records & (asymetrically) encrypts in real time the data points of the handwritten signature. The encrypted signature will be stored & bind to the PDF document to be validated. So the biometric data is the element under sole control of the signer, so no additonal authentication is required (except the use case requires it). Please note that the biometric signature is not recorded directly via Browser, it typically requires a specific hardware (Signature Pad, Tablet PC with Pen, Convertible with Pen) to ensure a high quality of the biometric signature, so it is mostly used for Point-Of-Sale use cases. Please contact your Namirial Sales Consultant for more information. |
| SMS-OTP Signature | Yes | No | The SMS-OTP (One-Time-Password) signature is similar to the Click to Sign signature, where the signer clicks on the signature field and confirms via SMS OTP (a numeric number sent to the signers phone) to sign the field. The phone is under sole control of the signer. |
| Local Certificate | Depending on Local Certificate | Depending on Local Certificate | This signature allows to access via the SIGNificant Device Driver (download is available via Signing Interface) local devices (e.g. Smart Cards, USB Token, Windows Cert Store). The signature level (AES, QES) depends on the used device. |
| Digital Remote Certificate | Yes | Depending on Certificate | This signature allows to access remote certificates (stored in a CA/TC) to sign the document. The credentials are under control of the signer. Depending on the certificate it is either an AES or QES. |
| Disposable Certificate | QES | QES | This signature uses a disposable certificate via the Namirial TSP. The disposable is a QES, which is only valid for a short time and allows a simpler usage for the signers (via confirming the T&C with Namirial TSP and the QES via SMS OTP or Namirial OTP App). |
| Custom Signature Types | Depending on the configuration of the custom signature | Depending on the configuration of the custom signature | On demand we can integrate for you custom signature types (customer TSP integrations, use case depending signature types). |
