• The qualified electronic signature service with telematic identity verification offers the possibility of remote registration via video identification.
• Qualified electronic signature users can perform any procedure through a fully telematic experience, with full legal coverage and maximum usability, including registration, certificate issuance and the signature itself, from any device and location.
• The new system enables organisations to move towards digital transformation with security and full legal assurance and to protect themselves from potential fraud.

Rome, 3 May 2023. -  Net Studio, an Indra Group company and leader in Cybersecurity, Digital Identity & Access Management, presented in Italy the qualified electronic signature service with telematic registration, which allows the signatory's identity to be verified remotely through the use of video identification. This eliminates the need for the user's physical presence for registration and the issuing of the digital certificates required for this type of signature, which is the one that offers the greatest guarantee of legal security.

The new system allows these signatures to be equivalent to handwritten signatures. The process is really simple and intuitive: the applicant needs less than a minute to complete the procedure from their PC or camera-equipped mobile device. After the process has been verified by Net Studio operators, the holder of a qualified certificate can start affixing advanced and/or qualified electronic signatures within minutes.

This functionality, which Net Studio has made fully operational and ready to offer customers a 100% secure and telematic experience, "implies the breaking down of the last barrier to the adoption of qualified electronic signatures; we are talking about a big step forward that will make the relationship with users even more dynamic when they obtain their electronic signature in the easiest and most secure way from a technical and legal point of view," says Eugenia Bolgiani, Sales Director of Net Studio in Italy.

The ability to affix a qualified signature was not feasible in all use cases, as in most situations it required the user to go to an identity verification point to have a registration officer perform this task. With this new formula, adds Bolgiani, "Net Studio makes it easier for organisations to advance in the digital transformation of their business with security and full legal guarantee and to protect the parties from possible fraud by supervising through its technology platform all kinds of details during the process to prove the legitimacy of the agreement in case of conflict.

The benefits of the new system are obvious: customers can be reliably identified from any location and device with a camera, they increase the organisation's efficiency while saving time and money as it is a 100 per cent online process with maximum security. Moreover, at the corporate level, it facilitates the expansion of international business by eliminating physical barriers.

In addition, the practical applications of qualified digital certificates issued through video identification that Net Studio, through its parent company SIA, as a Qualified Trust Service Provider, offers from its cloud platform are wide-ranging; the most important range from qualified digital onboarding of clients, with the guarantees of a qualified signature with an electronic certificate, to the contractualisation of services, such as banking services, or to basic identification systems for citizens, such as the Cl@ve system, which enables numerous procedures to be carried out with public administrations.
