About Advanced Electronic Signatures (AdES)
Advanced electronic signatures (AdES) from Digidentity verify the identity of the signer and their agreement with the content of your document. An AdES is an advanced electronic signature that complies with EU regulations. The certificate is based on PKI. It provides a Advanced certificate that identifies the signer at an advanced level and protects the document from manipulation or forgery.
An AdES is a unique signature for each signer and is legally binding in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Only a QES offers enhanced reliability, and in many cases, it may be required. For more information, visit our QES page.
