A-Trust CSC

Through our partner A-Trust, it is possible to create qualified online signatures. No local signature hardware is required for this. Instead, the signature certificate used is located on secured hardware in a certified data center. An issued certificate can be used immediately. There are no waiting times for production or postal delivery and no subsequent activation. Usage is possible from any workstation.

Prerequisites

  • Windows PC with Windows 10 or higher
  • Smartphone with Android 5.0+/iOS 12+
  • Active internet connection

Certificate Issuance

For the issuance of a 5-year valid qualified signature certificate, the following process is required:

1. Preparation

  • Install A-Trust Signature App for 2-factor authentication (Android, iOS)
  • Have email address and mobile phone number ready
  • Have official photo ID (identity card, ideally with activated eID function, or passport) at hand

2. Identification

Start the process with the token we provided on the A-Trust website. If you started the issuance within ZEDAL, you will be directly redirected to the appropriate location and identification starts automatically. In any case, you will be guided through the entire process.

Important

  • A token has been issued for a specific procedure and is only valid for that procedure.
  • A token is only valid once
  • The PC must not go into standby during the process, the browser must not be closed or the page left
