Digital Signature Usage
• Digital signatures have important properties:
– They conclusively bind the originators identity to the data
– The signers status can be confirmed as acceptable or not
– They confirm when the document was signed
– They confirm the document has not been changed
– They show this is not an accidental / draft document
– The originator cannot deny approving and sending it
– They can be checked at a future date
• Signatures should be verified before
documents are accepted in receiving systems
– To confirm all the points above
• Documents should be notarised on receipt
– To avoid disputes about content and time of receipt
• Well proven standards-based interoperability

What are the benefits of signing e-invoices
 Comply with the EU VAT directive and
applicable local legislation
 Safeguard corporate identity and documents
 Mitigate the risk of fraud committed using a
corporate identity
 Be able to easily and effectively confirm the
accuracy of invoices sent to any third party
 Enable easy retrofitting of a security ‘signing’
server, that offers self contained management
 Provides a significant ROI - Reducing costs
such as paper, toner, enveloping & postage

E-Invoice Market Drivers
• The EU VAT Directive requires:
– Guaranteed authentication of origin
– Guaranteed integrity of content
– Guaranteed readability during the storage period
• EU Digital Signature Directive ensures that
digital signature can be enforced in a court
and have equal weight as hand-signatures
• National legislations also demand digital
signatures – in some cases EU Qualified
Signatures which have more stringent
requirements

that can have its identity verified and current status
validated
• Dispute resolution costs are removed
– The invoice is confirmed as an authentic, formal document
– It has EU legal weight via a signature that can be verified
• Electronic Invoices save a huge amount of
money in paper, printing, enveloping and
postage costs
– An ROI can be produced within weeks!
