26.08.2026

A-Trust is expanding with the new Short Term Cert, a qualified short-term certificate for electronic signatures (QES) in accordance with eIDAS. The certificate is generated on demand and available within moments. This enables companies to benefit from a fast and flexible solution that combines minimal administrative effort with the highest level of legal validity — recognized across Europe.
Short Term Cert is particularly well suited for processes that require fast and legally bound digital signatures on a case-by-case basis. Typical use cases include digital customer onboarding, one-time contract signings, or for the approval of workflows. Certificates are issued exclusively for the specific transaction and remain valid only for a short period of time. This allows organizations to maintain efficient processes without long-term commitments or complex certificate management.
Thanks to the seamless integration into existing systems, signature workflows can be implemented digitally and without any media disruption. Various identification methods enable fast and secure authentication of signatories, ensuring that the entire process remains efficient and user-friendly.
With Short Term Cert, A-Trust responds to the increasingly diverse requirements of digital signatures: a solution that is flexible, instantly available, and designed to help organizations accelerate their digital processes without compromising on security or legal compliance.
