General topics about Swisscom Sign and the electronic signature.
Signing without pen and paper: The qualified electronic signature (QES) replaces handwritten signatures in the digital world.
Signing without pen and paper: The qualified electronic signature (QES) replaces handwritten signatures in the digital world. This allows you to sign documents around the clock on the web – conveniently on your computer or on your mobile phone with a scanning function. It is a server-based remote signature solution provided by Swisscom. It enables persons and companies to validly conclude online business processes with the help of electronic signatures and seals. The advantages of electronic signatures are efficient digital processes without media discontinuity, no paper consumption, as well as cost and time savings.
A qualified electronic signature (QES) is equivalent to a handwritten signature under Swiss law and is valid throughout the entire Swiss legal area. This enables you to electronically sign in a legally valid manner all documents that you have previously signed manually (simple written form).
If you want to sign a document for the European legal area, select our QES according to the European Signature Standard (eIDAS).
Administrative processes become much simpler, faster and more secure. This is because an electronic signature not only reduces costly business processes and saves resources in terms of transport and paper, but also protects the signed document against tampering and is thus a trustworthy alternative to a handwritten signature.
We do not charge any fees for non-commercial use. For commercial use, a fee of CHF 2.40 per signature is charged.
The MySwisscom app is only available in the Swiss app stores. If you do not have access to the Swiss app store, you can download the «Swisscom Sign App» instead.Please note that the Swisscom Sign app is not available in all countries.
Swisscom Sign cannot yet be used in Microsoft Office or Google Docs. However, we are currently working on offering this service.
The qualified electronic signature (QES) is governed in Switzerland by the Swiss Federal Act on Electronic Signatures (ESigA).
Everything you need to know about data protection and encryption.
The protection of your personal data is important to us. We explain to you transparently and simply who has access to your data.
The documents are temporarily stored in encrypted form at MS Azure Switzerland (data storage in Switzerland) for 30 days and are available for download during this time. Thereafter, the documents are permanently deleted.
The channel for data transmission between the systems or to the client is always encrypted using SSL. For the transfer into or out of the data storage, the data is therefore encrypted twice; the data itself is encrypted for storage and the transmission channel is encrypted.
Release of the electronic signature is protected with a personal PIN code or with biometrics (via FaceID or TouchID). A signature can only be released with this second factor.
Swisscom Sign is fully FADP and GDPR compliant.
When the document is signed, a hash value of the document is also signed. This hash value is a checksum that can be calculated from the document. When checking the signature, this checksum is recalculated and compared with the signed one. If the document has been changed in the meantime, these checksums no longer match and the user would be informed accordingly that the document's content has changed.
On the federal government website below, you can upload a document and check, free of charge, whether the qualified electronic signature is valid. To do this, visit this site: https://www.validator.admin.ch(opens in new tab).
A scanned signature does not meet the requirements for a qualified electronic signature. So, if you sign a sheet of paper, scan it and use it digitally, it is not legally equivalent to your handwritten signature. This is because it can easily be forged or reproduced.
