What is Digital Signature?

A digital signature is an electronic signing method based on cryptography and digital certificates. It verifies signer identity, confirms that a document has not been altered after signing, and provides traceable technical evidence for the signing action. Compared with a basic electronic signature, a digital signature places stronger emphasis on trusted identity, document integrity, and verifiable evidence, making it suitable for cross-border transactions, financial agreements, government procurement, pharmaceutical licensing, and other scenarios with higher compliance and legal-effect requirements.Learn more about Trusted Service Provider

A more trusted way to sign across borders

When contracts need to be executed across regions, enterprises must do more than collect a signature. They also need to match local trusted identity channels, signature levels, and evidence retention requirements so every critical document has clear proof.

AES and QES signature level selection interface

Flexible support for AES and QES digital signatures

Different business documents have different requirements for identity confirmation and legal effect. Enterprises can configure signature levels according to contract risk. AES is suitable for common commercial agreements, procurement contracts, and service agreements, while QES is designed for finance, government, healthcare, and cross-border transactions that require stronger signing evidence.

Identity verification and evidence retention interface

Identity verification and evidence retention

The platform can connect with official digital identity systems and trusted verification services in different regions to help signers complete identity verification. After signing, it retains signature certificates, timestamps, IP records, operation logs, and other key information to form an auditable electronic signing evidence package.

  • Verify signer identity
  • Retain certificates and timestamps
  • Create an auditable evidence package

Typical business scenarios

In high-compliance businesses such as cross-border finance, government procurement, and pharmaceutical licensing, digital signatures help enterprises connect identity confirmation, signing operations, and evidence retention in one trusted chain.

Cross-border financial agreement signing

Pain point

Cross-border loans, credit facilities, and investment agreements often involve signing parties in multiple regions. Enterprises need to prove signer identity, signing time, and document integrity, while ordinary electronic signatures may not meet evidence requirements in high-compliance scenarios.

Solution

Select AES or QES digital signatures according to document risk level, and combine trusted service providers, identity verification, timestamps, and evidence package retention to create a verifiable signing chain.
