AES (Advanced Electronic Signature)
Definition
The Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) is the second level defined by the eIDAS regulation. It must be uniquely linked to the signatory, enable their identification, be created using data under their sole control, and allow the detection of any subsequent modification to the document. In practice, Certyneo implements it via strong authentication (email + OTP SMS) and a timestamped audit trail. Understand signature levels →
