translation-block-merged\"><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A qualified electronic signature is an electronic signature created using a qualified certificate issued by a trusted certification authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The certificate confirms the identity of the person signing a document and helps ensure that the document has not been modified after it was signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Qualified electronic signatures are commonly used for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Signing contracts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submitting official documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicating with public institutions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Electronic business transactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_Can_a_Qualified_Signature_Be_Stored\"><\/span>Where Can a Qualified Signature Be Stored?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on the provider and solution used, a qualified signature may be stored on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A cryptographic card<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A USB token<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A dedicated signing device<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A secure cloud-based signing application<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The storage method should comply with the security requirements established by the certificate provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Security_Considerations\"><\/span>Security Considerations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help protect your qualified signature:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep the cryptographic device in a secure location.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not share PIN codes or passwords used to access the certificate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use only trusted devices and software when signing documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Report lost or compromised certificates to the issuing authority as soon as possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A qualified electronic signature is designed to provide a high level of security and protection against forgery. The signing process also makes it possible to detect unauthorized changes made to a document after it has been signed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Validity\"><\/span>Legal Validity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In many jurisdictions, including member states of the European Union, a declaration of intent signed using a qualified electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that documents signed with a qualified electronic signature can generally be used in situations where written form is required, subject to applicable laws and regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Summary\"><\/span>Summary<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A qualified electronic signature should be stored on a secure cryptographic device or in an approved signing application. Proper storage and protection of the certificate are essential for maintaining the security and legal validity of electronically signed documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","format":"standard","manualknowledgebasecat":[28],"manual_kb_tag":[5340,5347,5348,5349,5350,5351,885,918,5338,5339],"class_list":["post-9490","manual_kb","type-manual_kb","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","manualknowledgebasecat-others","manual_kb_tag-electronic-signature","manual_kb_tag-certificate-provider","manual_kb_tag-certificate-revocation","manual_kb_tag-cryptographic-device","manual_kb_tag-cryptographic-card","manual_kb_tag-security-token","manual_kb_tag-certificate-authority","manual_kb_tag-digital-certificate","manual_kb_tag-qualified-electronic-signature","manual_kb_tag-qualified-certificate"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/manual_kb"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9492,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb\/9490\/revisions\/9492"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9490"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"manualknowledgebasecat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manualknowledgebasecat?post=9490"},{"taxonomy":"manual_kb_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mybox.com\/help\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/manual_kb_tag?post=9490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
