How are identification and the Qualified Electronic Signature connected?
Antwort
Before a QES can be issued or used, the signer’s identity must be formally verified once. Today, this is typically done via Video-Ident or Self-Ident procedures. In the future, the Swiss e-ID will simplify this process, as it will provide a state-verified digital identity. The QES is therefore built directly on secure identification: only an individually verified person can create a legally binding digital signature. The combination of e-ID and QES ensures digital processes that are both efficient and legally sound.
