Alice works for a multinational corporation and needs to sign a new consulting agreement with Bob, a contractor providing services to her company. The agreement outlines the terms of Bob's freelance work, and payment should be made directly to his designated wallet.

eIDAS in a Nutshell

The eIDAS (electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services) regulation simplifies secure electronic interactions within the European Union. It ensures businesses, citizens, and governments can interact digitally with standardized identification methods and trust services – all seamlessly working across EU member states. This regulation promotes trust in electronic transactions, fostering a more integrated digital market within the EU.

Goal

To securely sign the consulting agreement in a way that can be verified by a third party if necessary.

How to do this?

  1. Bob Prepares the Contract: Bob creates and shares the contract electronically, attaching it to a validation request.
  2. Alice Signs the Contract:
    • Alice visits https://tydids.com/.
    • She creates a new validation request.
    • Uploads the contract as a PDF document (using the "Attach" button).
    • Signs the document electronically.
    • To ensure highest security, she then uses the "Request eID validation" button to finalize the signing with her electronic ID (eID).
  3. Verification and Payment:
    • Once signed, Alice shares the eID-validated document with Bob, who can view it under "Verifications" in the online system.
    • Upon confirmation of the agreement and completion of Bob's services, Alice's company uses the verified eID information to transfer the payment directly to Bob's designated wallet.
