What is the difference between ZertES and eIDas?
Automatically translated
In some cases, different identification requirements for digital signatures according to the QES procedure apply in the EU and Switzerland. If an existing identification is not valid for both standards and you have to sign a document for a standard for which you are not authorized, you must make an identification via a trust agent.
Example: According to the current identification, you may use QES for Swiss contracts, but not for EU contracts. You must identify yourself again via Trust Agent so that you can sign digitally in accordance with Swiss and EU law. This identification is valid until the expiry of the identity documents used for identification or for a maximum of 5 years.
