Help ensure authenticity and integrity of digital documents
Entrust Signhost is a digital signature solution that can generate digital seals, which carry the identity of a legal organization instead of an individual. Much like a digital signature, a digital seal uses digital certificate technology to prevent document tampering. When combined with timestamping, it can help to guarantee the existence of a document and/or a signature from a specific date and time.
Advanced Electronic Seals
Signhost can generate advanced electronic seals, in multiple scenarios:
- For each electronic signature on a document
- For any PDF document, unrelated to any signing request, just to benefit from the integrity, authenticity and non-repudiation features of a digital seal – this process can be manual using our web portal, or automated using our REST API
eIDAS Qualified Electronic Seals
Signhost can also generate eIDAS qualified electronic seals, which are a regulated version of the advanced seals and provide the highest level of recognition in the EU.
They can be used in the same scenarios as for advanced electronic seals.

FAQs
What are electronic and digital signatures, and how do they work?
Electronic and digital signatures are ways to sign documents electronically. Electronic signatures capture intent, like clicking “I agree” to a site’s terms and conditions, while digital signatures use cryptographic technology to verify the identity of the signer and protect the document from tampering.
What are the differences between electronic and digital signatures?
An electronic signature is a broad term that includes any electronic process indicating agreement. A digital signature is a specific type that uses certificates and encryption to authenticate identity and ensure document integrity.
Are electronic and digital signatures legally binding?
Yes, both are legally binding in many countries when they meet requirements like signer intent, consent, and record integrity. Digital signatures often provide a higher level of assurance and are typically required for regulated industries or transactions that cross borders.
