canusign offers the simple electronic signature under Art. 3(10) and Art. 25 eIDAS. An electronic signature cannot be denied legal effect just because it is electronic. Where the law requires a handwritten signature or a notarised deed, it is not enough. In a dispute, the proof is what counts: audit certificate, DigiCert timestamp and the verification page.
