What innovations does eIDAS plan for the electronic signature?

The eIDAS regulation simplifies existing signature procedures with the introduction of a so-called remote signature. The electronic signature can be triggered without a signature card or reader, for example via mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets. With this new procedure, the user's private signature key is stored on a highly secure server (hardware security module) of the qualified trust service provider. A qualified signature is generated via two-factor authentication (TAN-SMS) by the user.
