eIDAS — Electronic Signatures - FlexOrch

Overview

eIDAS (EU 910/2014) defines standards for electronic signatures. FlexOrch detects the presence of eIDAS-compliant signature formats in processed documents and records this in the execution metadata.

Detected signature formats

Format	Description
XAdES	XML Advanced Electronic Signature
PAdES	PDF Advanced Electronic Signature
CAdES	CMS Advanced Electronic Signature

In the execution result

When an eIDAS signature is detected, the execution metadata includes:

{
  "eidas_detected": true,
  "eidas_formats": ["PAdES"],
  "eidas_note": "Document contains a PAdES electronic signature. Validity verification requires a qualified trust service provider (QTSP)."
}

FlexOrch detects signature presence and format, but does not validate signature validity or certificate trust chains. Use a qualified trust service provider (QTSP) for legal signature validation.
