Brevio provides an advanced electronic signature (AdES), in accordance with article 26 of eIDAS, that is:
Its uniquely linked to the signatory
capable of identifying the signatory;
created using electronic signature creation data (a private key) that the signatory can, with a high level of confidence, use under his sole control; and
linked to the data signed in such a way that any subsequent change in the data is detectable.
An AdES cannot be denied legal effect or admissibility in evidence solely because of their electronic nature. This is known as the non-discrimination principle. It means that a national or EU court may not discard the signature (or a document) on the grounds that it is in electronic form.
