SES (Simple Electronic Signature)

Definition

Simple Electronic Signature (SES) is the basic level defined by the eIDAS regulation. It requires no specific technical requirement: a click "I accept", a signature image or email signature satisfies it. Its probative value is presumed but can be contested if the signatory denies their act. It suits low legal risk documents (quotes, internal meeting notes, letters of intent). For significant stakes, prefer the AES or QES level.
