Qualified Trust Service Providers (QTSPs) work with customers in high-trust industries that require eIDAS certified Qualified Signatures.
In our latest case study, we look at how DigiCert + QuoVadis, a long-standing Ascertia partner, utilised the ADSS SAM Appliance to offer its customers certified, eIDAS-compliant Remote Qualified eSignatures.
Ascertia’s ADSS SAM Appliance is the first Qualified Signature Creation Device (QSCD) to be Common Criteria EN 419 241-2 certified.
Business need:
Many of DigiCert + QuoVadis' customers work in high-trust industries, such as banking and government. These high trust industries required eIDAS-certified Qualified Signatures (QES).
Facing the latest eIDAS regulations for Qualified Remote Signatures, DigiCert + QuoVadis needed an eSignature soltuion that would generate Remote Qualified Electronic Signatures.
Selection process:
The latest eIDAS regulations meant DigiCert + QuoVadis had to implement a certified QSCD which contained a certified Hardware Security Module (HSM).
The Ascertia ADSS SAM Appliance met this requirement, being the first QSCD to be Common Criteria EN 419 241-2 certified to enable Qualified Remote Signing. ADSS Server - SAM Appliance utilises Ultimaco's CP5 HSM for cyrptographic processing and key management. It has been certified under Common Criteria EAL4+ Protection Profile EN 419 221-5. This certification was the key differentiator for DigiCert + QuoVadis.

Ascertia's SigningHub is the solution of choice for DigiCert + QuoVadis. It enables their customers that require high-trust, eIDAS-certified Remote Qualified Signatures to meet compliance obligations.
With Remote Qualified Signatures specifically, DigiCert + QuoVadis hosts the ADSS SAM Appliance within its approved Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) back-end. It offers 'hybrid' solutions to its customers. Clients can control their own SigningHub instances on-premise with the signing requests being sent to DigiCert + QuaVadis - where they manage their customers' keys and certificates.
Result:
DigiCert + QuoVadis was the world's first QTSP to utilise Ascertia's ADSS SAM Appliance to provide customers with eIDAS-certified Remote Qualified Signing.
