Blockchain ensures the authenticity of digital signatures
Scrive uses blockchain technology to guarantee the integrity of your document. First, the document is secured with a digital signature, and then blockchain verifies the signature by creating a permanent, tamper-proof public record. This makes it possible to prove that any electronically signed document:
- has not been altered
- is not a forgery
- was created on the precise date and time indicated by the digital signature
FAQ for e-signing
Do you need an eID to sign electronically?
This is normally not required. However, an eID might be preferred or even required in certain situations:
1) High contract value/BNPL. E.g., when selling a car, or a phone with a leasing contract, an ID check decreases fraud risk.
2) AML/KYC requirements. E.g., before opening a bank account, it is often legally required that proper identification of the customer has taken place.
3) Advanced electronic signatures. Sometimes you meet statutory requirements to use advanced electronic signatures. There are four requirements for an electronic signature to be recognised as advanced according to the eIDAS Regulation. In simple terms, these include the need to uniquely identify the signatory and make sure that that the signatory had sole control of their signature. It must also be possible to detect if any changes have occurred after the point of signature. Courts have on multiple occasions confirmed that when e-signatures created in Scrive eSign are combined with eIDs, these constitute advanced electronic signatures.What different levels of e-signature are there?
There are three levels of electronic signature. The eIDAS Regulation defines three types of electronic signatures: (Basic) Electronic Signature, Advanced Electronic Signature and Qualified Electronic Signature. Read more about electronic signatures
What is eIDAS
eIDAS stands for electronic Identification, Authentication and trust Services, and is an EU regulation on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions that applies as law within the whole of the EU. Read more about eIDAS
Are e-signatures legally binding?
For 99.99% of all documents, the answer is a solid “yes”. Contract law world wide typically honours any agreement where the parties’ intentions to become bound are clearly stated. A handshake, phone recording, fax, paper signature and e-signature are all valid. Read more about legally binding signatures
What’s the difference between electronic signatures and digital signatures?
An electronic signature is a method for entering into a legal agreement in a digital environment. Think of it as the digital equivalent of signing your name on a paper document, such as a sales contract.
A digital signature is not a signature in the legal sense. Rather, it’s about document integrity, which means that in the event of a dispute, you can prove that: (1) no one has altered the original document, and (2) the document you’re presenting isn’t a forgery. It’s like a fingerprint that is unique to that document
