Signature types

Choose the signature that fits the document

IMZA supports two signature levels. They differ in how the signer is verified and how the signature is created.

Signature type: The kind of signature: electronic (a broad category) or digital (based on cryptography).
Signature level: The assurance level, such as simple or qualified, set by the applicable law.
Signing mode: How the signer signs, for example in the platform or locally with a token.
Technical format: How the signature is stored in the file. PAdES, for example, is a PDF signature standard.

Sign directly in the platform

What it means: An electronic signature that records a person's intent to sign a document.
How it works in IMZA: The signer signs online in IMZA, in the workflow set up by the sender.
Typical use cases: Internal approvals, routine agreements and other documents where speed matters.
Identity and security: The level of signer verification depends on how the workflow is configured.
When to choose it: When convenience and speed matter and the document does not require a qualified signature.

Legal effect depends on the applicable law, the certificate and the circumstances of signing.

Document integrity and cryptographic protection

How signed documents can be checked after signing.

Signature bound to the document

A signature is tied to the document content, so a change after signing can be detected.

Integrity verification

The signed document can be verified to confirm it matches what was signed.

Certificate-based signing

Qualified signing uses the signer's certificate and token.

Verification can show whether a document changed after signing.

Identity verification and access control

Controls that decide who can act on a document.

Authentication

Participants are authenticated before they act on a document, according to the workflow settings.

Participant roles

Each participant has a defined role in the workflow, such as signer.

Method-specific controls

Some controls apply only to certain signing methods, such as local signing with a token.

Available controls vary by workflow and configuration. Contact us to confirm what applies to your use case.

Infrastructure, privacy and compliance

What to discuss with us when assessing IMZA for your organization.

Deployment and data location

Deployment options and data-location arrangements are defined with each organization.

Algerian legal

IMZA is built around the Algerian legal framework and trusted digital identity, with an architecture ready for international standards.

IMZA is a document management and signing platform. The issuance of qualified certificates is delegated to certification authorities (TSPs).
