Forschungsergebnisbeschreibung

"Electronic signatures based on electronic certificates identifying companies and/or single persons are in common use already. They allow the secure identification of the sender of a document and ensure that a document has not been modified. PEPPOL aims to create interoperability between the different national schemes, so that in practice a public sector entity can validate certificates issued in other member states, allowing for electronic submission of tenders cross borders."
