Signing – Private sector initiatives

Several recognised private certification service providers offer not only solutions for individuals, SMEs, lawyers and notaries, but also integration solutions for larger companies and ‘remote signing services’. These remote signing services can in turn be used by third-party providers.

The Swisscom Signing Service is currently used by several third-party providers as the technical basis for their own products. A company authorised as a recognised provider of certification services that is authorised to create regulated electronic signatures (e.g. qualified electronic signatures, QESs) may also offer unregulated electronic signatures (e.g. those referred to as advanced electronic signatures, AESs). These unregulated electronic signatures are not recognised under the ESigA.
