Qualified certificate for electronic signature

Qualified certificates are designed to communicate with public authorities, and are also used for commercial purposes. A qualified certificate for electronic signature can be used to create an electronic signature and verify it. Other uses, such as message encryption, are limited by legislation.

The Qualified Certificate for electronic signature issued by I.CA complies with all the requirements set out in Act No. 297/2016 Coll., On trust-building services for electronic transactions and eIDAS Regulation 910/2014 on electronic identification and trust services for electronic transactions in the internal market. In conjunction with the Starcos smart card and the I.CA SecureStore user application, which are certified as a qualified signature creation device (QESCD), it can be used to create a so-called qualified electronic signature under eIDAS.
