Signature solutions for companies
Short Term Cert
Short Term Cert by A-Trust is a qualified short-term certificate for creating legally binding Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES) in accordance with eIDAS. The certificate is generated on demand and available within seconds. For companies, this means minimal administrative effort, maximum process speed, and legally valid signatures across Europe.
It is the ideal solution for secure end-to-end customer onboarding, digital contract signing, and efficient approval workflows.
Your benefits
Simple and Fast Issuance
The certificate is easy to issue and is immediately usable. Thanks to modern identification procedures, the application process is fast, convenient, and fully digital - directly incorporable within existing workflows and without media disruption. No passwords or permanent credentials are required, and there is no need for later revocation.
Legal Certainty under eIDAS
Short Term Cert enables qualified electronic signatures with the highest evidentiary value. These signatures are legally valid across the EU, clearly attributable to a specific person, and can be technically verified at any time.
Straightforward Use
Certificates are issued exclusively for a specific use case and remain valid for approximately 15 minutes. This eliminates long-term commitments and administrative overhead, making them ideal for one-time or occasional signature processes with streamlined workflows.
Seamless Integration
The solution smoothly integrates into existing systems and processes, enabling fully digital, media-free workflows. The signing process can also be implemented without additional steps such as SMS verification, making it particularly efficient and user-friendly.
