In the world of electronic and cloud-based remote signatures, regulations like eIDAS introduced the need for remote signing solutions to be delivered securely.

The acceleration of digital business has been rapid over the past 18 months and caught many by surprise. The Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) has supported this rise in the digital economy by developing a set of standards and protocols for remote signing that enable businesses to leverage digital signatures and power cross-border business.

In the second topic covered by our video series #AscertiaOn, Ascertia’s Mike Hathaway and Sam Crook discuss the importance of standards in enabling cross-border business.

The latest guest blog from the Ascertia partner community comes courtesy of Stefan Claeys, Managing Partner at KeySign who discusses the e-signature landscape, smart cards and remote signing.

We recently caught up with Patrick Beckman Lapré, Global Director Sales of Document Signing at Ascertia partner DigiCert to talk about the digitalisation of processes and the impact of eIDAS on the adoption of remote signing across Europe.

As a highly regulated and competitive industry, aerospace companies require robust, high-trust document approval processes underpinned by legal certainty and assurance.

What is the Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC)?

Ascertia is a CSC member, a group of industry and academic organisations committed to building a new standard for cloud-based digital signatures that will support web and mobile applications and comply with the most demanding electronic signature regulations in the world. The CSC was created to develop common protocols so that distributed applications and services can leverage digital signatures in a non-proprietary way.

DigitalSign is a trust service provider and long-term Ascertia partner based in Portugal, operating across Europe and Brazil.

Security integrator and trust service provider ADACOM was looking for a robust solution that could add value to their offering, and enable customers to utilise electronic signatures via ADACOM’s workflow platform or for their own in-house deployments.
