Digi-ID™ Xe Qualified Digital Signature
- Digital Signature Compliance Within the Euro Zone
-
Digi-ID™ Xe digital signatures provide all the same functionality as the standard Digi-ID™, except that the Digi-ID™ Xe is an EU qualified digital signature. This means that it meets all of the EU regulations for using legally binding digital signatures within the Euro Zone.

For individual users, the Digi-ID™ Xe are supplied on a Secure Signature Creation Device [SSCD], such as a Digi-Token™ or Digi-Card™. The Digi-ID™ Xe Server, for use by an organisation, is also supplied on an SSCD and this can be either a Digi-Card™ or HSM.

Getting Digi-ID™ Xe qualified digital signatures is not straightforward. Although there are the same three steps in issuing a Digi-ID™ Xe as there are in a standard Digi-ID™ Xp, for each qualified digital signature, you are required to complete and sign a paper document. This document is then sent to the Digi-CAST2 production team that will then individually issue each signature (i.e. this cannot be controlled, or issued by personnel in your organisation).
Unless your requirement stipulates you must use EU qualified digital signatures, it may be prudent and much easier to use Digi-ID™ Xp digital signatures instead.
