In-Depth Explanation

 

Adobe Sign is designed to meet various international digital signature standards, including the requirements set by eIDAS in the European Union. eIDAS (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services) is a regulation that facilitates secure and seamless electronic transactions across EU borders by ensuring that digital actions are as legally secure as traditional paper signatures.

To ensure eIDAS compliance using Adobe Sign, you need to ensure that:

• Signature Creation Processes: The digital signature process must securely capture the signer’s intent and identity without being easily tampered with.

• Authentication Methods: Robust methods, such as multi-factor authentication, must be employed to verify the signer’s identity prior to signing.

• Data Integrity and Security: The platform must protect the signed document and maintain its integrity over time, ensuring it remains legally valid.

• Audit Trails: Comprehensive logs are kept to provide evidence of the signing process, aligning with eIDAS requirements for legal validation and dispute resolution.

• Proper Configuration: It is crucial that the system is configured correctly to meet eIDAS standards, which may involve working with experts to verify that all necessary measures are in place.
