How to create digital signatures

What is a digital signature

A digital signature is a type of electronic signature that requires the signer to be identified and can be either qualified or advanced. The signature certificate is issued by an authorized entity, i.e. a QTSP (Qualified Trust Service Provider) upon identification of the signer. Intesi Group is a QTSP on the EU Trusted List.

What is the purpose of digital signature

A qualified digital signature allows any document to be signed with the same legal value as a handwritten signature. In addition to ensuring the identity of the signer, the digital signature ensures the integrity of the document, which cannot be changed after signing.

Document authenticity

Certifies the unique correspondence between the signature applied and the person claiming to be the author.

Document integrity

After the signature has been applied, the document can no longer be altered in any part.

Legal validity

Legally speaking, the document is perfectly valid, exactly as if it had been signed by hand.

How to digitally sign a document

In order to digitally sign you must first purchase an electronic signature certificate (Advanced or Qualified). Next you must be identified through your SPID identity, or-if without SPID-through video call with one of our operators. At this point Intesi Group can issue your signature certificate, and using one of our signature software, you can start signing wherever you are and with any device.
