Using eIDAS Trust Services Centrally with the Signature Server
All eIDAS-certified trust services can be operated via just one central application and seamlessly integrated into digital business processes.
One Interface for All Trust Services
Electronic communication and the digitalisation of business processes often use various trust services to protect authenticity, origin, and confidentiality. There are trust services with different classes and security levels depending on the legal requirements. eIDAS-qualified electronic signatures, seals and time stamps are therefore used for documents that require a high level of evidential value to be legally binding. Other processes, e.g. an internal release, may often only require more advanced signatures and seals.
The operation via separate applications is not user-friendly, especially in the case of multi-level processes and several integrated trust services. The D-Trust signature server offers a solution: Use all eIDAS-certified trust services of D-Trust GmbH centrally in one all-round solution. This means that within the environment of the signature server, digital documents are exchanged in the workflow, electronically signed or sealed and also secured for long-term archiving.

Product Details
Fast Signature Processes – Internal and External
The signature server enables you to design efficient, end-to-end electronic business processes without media discontinuity. Adapt the digital signing processes to your internal procedures. Save recurring processes with individual templates and complete them in a way that is quick and user-friendly. In addition, obtain digital signatures from external third parties with the signature server – including identification if a qualified electronic signature (QES) is required. This makes it possible to conclude business transactions fully digitally, nearly in real time.
You define delegation rules in the rights and role management within the signature server in the event that a person authorised to sign is absent. This enables seamless further processing of transactions and avoids delays in the signing process due to absences.
Customised Configuration According to Customer Requirements
The signature server is customised according to your wishes: from integrating your logo to designing the application in the colour scheme of your brand. Our sales team will be happy to offer you further customisation options.

Technical Requirements
The signature server is integrated into your processes via programming interfaces. You decide whether to operate the signature server yourself in your own IT infrastructure or in a data centre of your choice.
