Introduction

What is BankID Signing?

BankID Signing is a modern and flexible new platform to integrate to our signing service for:

  • Qualified Electronic Signature (QES) with qualified certificates.
  • Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) with non-qualified certificates (for Substantial eIDs).
  • Qualified Timestamp (QTS) with qualified timestamp certificates.

These pages will guide you through the process of integrating BankID signing in two ways:

  • The Cloud Signature Consortium (CSC) is a global initiative launched to define and promote a common standard for cloud-based digital signatures. The aim is to ensure that digital signatures remain reliable, secure, and universally accepted, no matter where they are generated or validated.
  • SignDoc provides a seamless API for getting signed documents in various formats, most notably PDF. SignDoc will manage the signature assembly and provide a WYSIWYS (What You See Is What You Sign) user interface for the end user to sign the document.
  • The Qualified Timestamping API provides a way to get a qualified timestamp.

These pages are work in progress and will be continuously updated until production and general availability.
