Federated eIDAS-compatible signing portal

Qualified digital signatures using eID cards

Existing electronic document signing platforms often lack support for advanced or qualified electronic signatures available under the EU's eIDAS standard, relying instead on simpler signatures without stronger legal validity. Our federated eIDAS-compatible signing portal addresses this gap by providing an open-source user-friendly platform for creating qualified electronic signatures using government-issued eID cards and other qualified signature creation devices. Unlike existing alternatives, our project integrates seamlessly with desktop and mobile signer applications, both open-source and commercial, enabling intuitive qualified document signing, validation, archiving, and API integration with third-party systems. Its federated manner ensures that independent portal instances can securely exchange documents, simplifying the adoption of qualified electronic signatures across Europe, reducing reliance on proprietary solutions, and improving digital administrative workflows.
