Cloud signature
Definition
Cloud signature is an electronic signature in which the signer''s private key is generated, stored and managed by a trusted service provider in the cloud, rather than on a local device (USB key, smart card). This approach simplifies user experience and enables qualified signature (QES) from a simple browser. Keys are protected in a certified HSM operated by a QTSP.
