signotec GmbH presents its solutions for secure electronic signatures for the first time at the Kommunale, one of the most important trade fairs for public administrations. As a marketplace for cities and municipalities, the fair has developed into a permanent institution and is celebrating its twentieth anniversary this year. Particularly with regard to the Online Access Act, digitisation in administrations is one of the main topics of the event.

This is where signotec’s solutions make an important contribution, as there are virtually no limits to the possible uses of electronic signatures in the public sector. From the application for identity cards, passports or driver’s licenses, the registration and deregistration of residences or vehicles to the signature of weighing notes in waste management to a wide variety of documents generated from the administration software, many administrations today already benefit from the advantages of signotec’s electronic signature solutions. Due to the completely paperless, media-break-free processes, not only the administrative effort is considerably reduced, but there is also a high savings potential in material and paper costs. The high level of acceptance by the public and the modern image are also pleasing.

signotec is one of the few selected companies whose products have been tested and approved by the Bundesdruckerei for the digital application procedure ("DIGANT"). Furthermore, signotec cooperates with many renowned software partners from the municipal sector, such as HSH Soft- und Hardware Vertriebs GmbH (MESO Classic, VOIS|MESO), AKDB Bayern, Kommunix GmbH, Telecomputer GmbH and many more.

In the field of hardware signotec offers a variety of signature pads Made in Germany. The advantage of the signature on the pad lies in the tamper-proof environment and the unique quality of the signature, which was found in an independent forensic report to be more valuable than the classic signature on paper. Furthermore, all pads feature an unsurpassed variety of RSA security mechanisms. Another novelty is the eIDAS pad signature seal, with which signotec offers a worldwide unique solution. An individual certificate in the pad enables an advanced company seal at the highest security level, because this certificate in the pad is issued by a trustworthy root certificate, which is also classified as trustworthy in Adobe Acrobat Reader.

In addition to the hardware, the signotec software is also characterized by maximum security and flexibility. Solutions are available for almost every system environment. In addition to convenient functions, signotec attaches great importance to standards such as an ISO-compliant signature of PDF files, so that the integrity of a document is possible both time- and location-independently and without signotec tools.

At Kommunale 2019 on 16 and 17 October 2019 in Hall 9, Stand 9-222, administrations will be able to see signotec’s signature solutions for themselves. The event will take place at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg. We look forward to your visit!
