Three main requirements:
The signatory must be linked and uniquely identified to the signature.
The data used to create the signature must be under the sole control of the signatory.
Must have the ability to identify if the data that accompanies the signature has been tampered with since the signing of the message.
Must be created using a qualified signature creation device.
This device uses specific hardware and software that ensures that the signatory only has control of their private key.
A qualified trust service provider manages the signature creation data that is produced.
However, the signature creation data must remain unique, confidential, and protected from forgery.
