This week will focus on e-SENS’s e-Signature. You’ll be able to find new information about this building block every day. Check on e-SENS social media channels for new updates!

The e-Signature Building Block has the aim of establishing cross-border interoperable components for a secure authentication infrastructure in different domains. The main purpose of such signatures is to bind an e-Document to an entity. The building block consists of e-Signature Creation and Verification services as a core architecture framework. e-SENS e-Signature will follow legal and interoperability frameworks (the eIDAS regulation and the EU e-Signature Standards Framework) and prove that real-life interoperability is possible. e-SENS will also support mobile signature solutions to establish e-Signature services using a mobile signing device.
