SigningHub in Italy

Yes, you can use SigningHub for both electronic and digital signatures in Italy. Digital signatures are a more secure electronic signature. SigningHub is compliant with the EU eIDAS Regulation, which is the legal framework for electronic signatures in the European Union.

SigningHub supports two types of electronic signatures that are considered legally valid in Italy:

• Advanced electronic signatures (AES) – This eSignature type is based on strong authentication of the signer and the integrity and non-repudiation of the signed document. This means that a signer cannot deny they sent, received, signed or approved a document later on.
• Qualified electronic signatures (QES) – QES are the highest level of electronic signature and are considered the equivalent of a handwritten signature. This type of digital signature has all the features of an AES but they are signed using qualified certificates issued by a recognised Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP).
