New Standard For EU-Compliant Electronic Signatures

Posted by timothy on from the ja-das-war-ich dept.

An anonymous reader writes "ETSI has published a multi-part standard that will facilitate secure paperless business transactions throughout Europe, in conformance with European legislation. The standard defines a series of profiles for PAdES — Advanced Electronic Signatures for PDF documents — that meet the requirements of the European Directive on a Community framework for electronic signatures (Directive 1999/93/EC)."

    The European Telecommunications Standards Institute's search page is at:

    Search for "pades" in the title will get you the five parts of the standard (well, Technical Specification).

    And thank goodness it's ETSI doing this, since they publish their standards without charge.
