ESVA will contribute to an effective and reliable system to identify key dimensions of signatures, attesting therefore the authenticity and roles of the persons who signed for specific matters. It will allow accuracy and security in university procedures, while reduce bureaucracy and the time consumed under manual procedures of verification.

The eSignature Validation software package will analyse if a certain e-signature is valid, qualified or not, and collect any existing attributes that may be available to collect.

The integration of the eSignature Validation Module with the Erasmus Without Paper network will admit the validation of the attributes received from the eSignature Validation Package against the EWP API’s, to assign a level of trust to the signature of the signed document. Such EWP attributes validation will allow the contextualisation of a digitally signed document, adding a background to it, and making possible to identify with high precision the owner of the analysed digital signature.

All the software developed will be open source and made available in an accessible and structured format to the community.
