Goal

As a member state of the European Union, Portugal follows eIDAS, the legal framework that recognizes eSignatures as legally valid in the EU. eIDAS applied to Portugal in 2016 and means : Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market (the “eIDAS Regulation”).

The eIDAS regulation defines three types of eSignature (SES, AES, QES):

‍1. Standard Electronic Signature (SES) . This is the existence of electronic data logically connected to other electronic data (e.g. a document), which is used by the signatory of the electronic data for signature of the document.

2. ‍Advanced Electronic Signature. This must ensure that signatures are uniquely connected to and capable of identifying the signatory.

3‍. Qualified Electronic Signature. This is a stricter form of AES and the only signature type given the same legal value as handwritten signatures. It is an advanced electronic signature with a qualified digital certificate that has been created by a qualified signature creation device (QSCD). The QSCD has to be issued by a qualified EU Trust Service Provider (TSP) on the European Union Trust List (EUTL.)

The customer requests an enhancement for JDE Portugal Localization in order to generate the "Qualified Electronic Signature" .
