Support PADES electronic signature.

[vperilla]

Is there a plan to support electronic signature using PADES standard?

@vperilla I need to research a bit more about PAdES. As far as I know (AFAIK), it requires sending a hex digest to a trusted authority, which makes it not viable when self-hosting. However, I hope that Advanced Electronic Signature will eventually be available on docuseal.co cloud.

I have only just started reading up on electronic signatures but now that you mention "Advanced Electronic Signature" I assume that right now, Docuseal only offers a "Simple Electronic Signature"?

I have no needs for this, just trying to read up on how this works (legally). So far I have found this overview. Maybe you could try and add some of this info on Docuseal's homepage.

@ovizii, thank you for sharing this. You're right, at DocuSeal, we are fully compliant only with the first Simple Electronic signature based on the eIDAS standard.

The advanced level with PADES digital signature can be achieved with DocuSeal Cloud, and we hope to introduce this level of signatures soon.

@vperilla Yes, we plan to be fully compliant with the PADES standard.
