Electronic signature types (SES, AdES, QES)

The 3 eIDAS signature levels

The eIDAS regulation defines 3 levels: SES (Simple Electronic Signature, base), AdES (Advanced, intermediate with strong signer-document link), QES (Qualified, legal equivalent of handwritten, required for notarial acts). Scell.io currently exposes SES via OpenAPI.com (BulkGate / SuperPDP). QES via partners.
