Non-repudiation
Definition
Non-repudiation is the property of an electronic signature that makes it impossible for the signer to deny having performed the action (sign, send, accept). It is assured by the combination of cryptographic signature (irreplaceable technical link), timestamped audit trail, and strong authentication. A qualified signature (QES) offers the strongest non-repudiation recognized by European law.
