General information
Put simply, a digital signature is a digital seal which identifies the sender without any doubt (authenticity) when data is electronically transmitted and which warrants the original condition of the data transported (integrity). The digital signature should not be confused with encryption of the signed document itself. The content of the signed data can be read by anybody irrespective of the digital signature. The qualified digital signature has the same effect as a personally made signature and is to protect the electronic documents against manipulation during transmission.
Two options are available here:
-
Supplied as follow-up verification, i.e. with the signature you automatically order subsequent verification and hence make life easier for your customers.

We normally sign on behalf of the customer using a multicard. Multicards are issued to data centre employees and contain one of our pseudonyms.
Security
Digital signatures are based on complex mathematical methods that use prime numbers. The calculation of the two underlying keys (private key and public key) is very complicated and this is the prime source of security.
As a rule, we transmit all data with 128-bit SSL encryption. This type of encryption very effectively protects your data and is also used in many critical areas of business, such as Banking.
