6. Electronic Signatures — Legal Framework and Limitations

6.1 Nature of DottSign Electronic Signatures

  • Signatures created on DottSign are electronic signatures in the sense of Brazil's Lei 14.063/2020 ("assinatura eletrônica avançada" category, using verifiable cryptographic certificate) and the EU eIDAS Regulation ("advanced electronic signature" — AdES).
  • Each signature includes: typed name; RSA-PSS cryptographic signature over the document hash; ephemeral X.509 public-key certificate; SHA-256 document hash; IP address; User-Agent; and an RFC 3161 timestamp token from our Time Stamping Authority.
  • DottSign signatures are NOT ICP-Brasil certified signatures (A1/A3 qualified certificates under Medida Provisória 2.200-2/2001) and are NOT "qualified electronic signatures" (QES) under eIDAS.

6.2 Your Responsibility

  • You are solely responsible for assessing whether DottSign signatures satisfy the legal requirements for your specific documents and jurisdiction.
  • Certain document types in Brazil may require ICP-Brasil certified signatures (e.g., some notarial acts, certain government filings). Consult qualified legal counsel before using DottSign for such documents.
  • For EU documents requiring QES under eIDAS (e.g., certain land registry transactions), DottSign electronic signatures are not sufficient.
