Digital Signature with Docuten

Docuten has all the types of signatures included in the eIDAS Regulation

Docuten is a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) in accordance with Regulation (EU) No. 910 / 2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions (eIDAS).

A signature with OTP (One-Time Password) is a digital signature done by sending a single-use code (only valid to sign a specific document) with temporary validity to the signatory via SMS or email, depending on what is indicated when the signing process is created.

Signing with a OTP has several advantages, including the fact that it is incredibly easy to use. Continue reading to find out why.

No, although there is the option to do it via app, with Docuten you do not need to download the app to sign with a biometric signature.

You can do it through your internet browser. To use this type of signature, you just need a mobile device, such as a tablet or smartphone.

When using this type of signature, you will need a device such as a tablet or smartphone. The signature is done with your finger or a touch pen on the screen of the device, similar to how you would sign something on paper.

With Docuten’s biometric signature you are able to sign documents from a mobile phone or tablet.

The Docuten mobile application sends the signed document with the biometric information encrypted in the document itself, providing complete legal guarantees. This ensures the inalterability of the document since it can’t be modified after it is signed.

Storing the biometric information of the signature securely within the signed document gives the signature validity.

This type of signature enables the use of digital certificates issued in the name of the signatory and are securely housed in the Docuten certificates store.

You can use a qualified digital certificate hosted by Docuten. This type of digital certificate will have been previously issued by a certification authority (such as the “National Coinage and Stamp Factory – Royal Mint” in Spain, for example) to the signatory, and is linked to his or her ID number.

This type of signature enables the use of digital certificates issued in the name of the signatory and are securely housed in the Docuten certificates store.

You can use a non-qualified digital certificate issued by Docuten in the name of the signatory. This type of certificate will be generated if there is no digital certificate in Docuten associated with the signatory.

For electronically signed documents, Docuten embeds an electronic “Secure Verification Code” (CSV) that allows access to the original document when the document is printed, generating a QR code for easy access from your mobile.

If an electronic document is printed, it must be printed with this code so that it references the original document which was signed digitally.

The printed document will be considered an authentic copy, and may be cross-checked online with the original digitally signed document.
