Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Will an organisation entry be made for signatures with the new solution?
No, an organisation entry is not needed with the new signature solution. The certificate is issued for private individuals rather than companies. This means that the name of the entity (company, business, organisation, etc.), the internal organisational unit and/or the position of the certificate holder cannot be entered in the certificate.
Is long-term validation (LTV) supported in the signatures?
Yes, the signatures are created for LTV, i.e. a real-time OCSP response is embedded in the PDF with the signature during signing.
Is the electronic signature also valid abroad?
The electronic signature currently only supports signatures in accordance with the Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Signatures (ESigA). It is therefore only legally valid and binding for contracts subject to Swiss law.
