Electronic signatures with signoSign/Universal

​With signoSign/Universal, you can capture electronic signatures that are legally binding, conclusive and secure. Our solution offers more than just a graphical representation of the signature - it also stores biometric signature data and reliably protects the document against tampering.

Biometric data for forensically usable signatures

Important biometric features are captured during the signature process, including

​​​

​​

​​
 

This data can be used by a handwriting expert to forensically analyse and authenticate the signature. As a result, signoSign/Universal fulfils the highest requirements for evidentiary security and authenticity.

Protection through digital signature according to ISO standard

In addition to the biometric signature, the document is digitally signed in accordance with the ISO standard. The hash value (checksum) of the PDF document is signed with a certificate. This process offers:



 

  • Write speed

  • Printing behavior

  • acceleration

  • Pick-up and drop-off points

  • Movement sequences

  • Time measurements

  • Tamper protection

  • Traceable document history

  • easy verification of document integrity

Security - Made in Germany

The electronic signature solutions from signotec are designed and developed in Germany with the highest standards of data protection and data security. Its own high standards of security and quality make signotec one of the world's leading providers.


 

PDF SIGNATURE

During development, signotec particularly places value on established standards and explicitly avoids proprietary technologies. For example, PDF signatures are executed according to ISO 19005-1:2005 and 32000-1:2008, so that they can be verified by anyone at any time (even without signotec software).


 

ENCRYPTION

The sensitive signature data is encrypted with a public key certificate with 4,096 bits, with the private part retained by a notary. This ensures that only the notary can decrypt signatures. Misuse of the captured signatures is therefore almost completely excluded.

SECURE CLOUD


Furthermore, our own cloud solutions are hosted exclusively in certified data centres within Germany. They are protected with state-of-the-art technology, so that your data is secured in the best possible way at all times. Of course, every customer can conclude an agreement with us for contract data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Quality levels of electronic signatures
 

The legal framework distinguishes between three types of electronic signatures:

  • Simple electronic signatures (EES)

  • Advanced electronic signatures (FES)

  • Qualified electronic signatures (QES)

These signatures are legally binding and recognised in all EU member states in accordance with the eIDAS Regulation.

signoSign/Universal: legally secure by default

 

Even in its standard configuration, signoSign/Universal fulfils the requirements for an advanced electronic signature (FES). The integration of qualified electronic signatures (QES) is also possible as an option - for example in conjunction with certified signature cards or remote signature services.
