Secure server solution provider Cryptomathic has partnered with fidentity to offer automated identity verification for remotely qualified e-signing across the EU. The collaboration aims to improve the efficiency and accessibility of remote e-signature services while focusing on offering security and privacy to clients across the EU and Switzerland.

Following the European Union’s eIDAS and Switzerland’s ZertES regulations and laws, the remote QES offers non-repudiation and security in e-signature services and solutions. In order for the QES to be performed, the user needs to have their identity verified first. The deal between Cryptomathic and fidentity prioritises the integration of an automated, legal complaint, and digitalised identity verification process in the remote QES signing experience.

This will reduce the time of the procedure and make it more seamless, as there will be no necessity for a cumbersome, or the psychical manual process in which passports, IDs, or other identity documents need to be presented and verified in person and through a live video call. The collaboration will combine Cryptomathic’s e-signature solution called Signer and fidentity’s KPMG-certified identity verification platform, IDENT. Signer represents a certified remote Qualified Signature Creation Design which was made available across the EU and Swiss jurisdictions.
