Rebranding E-Signing Portal to Trust Portal
A new version of Nets E-Signing Portal is to be launched with improved design, and re-named "Trust Portal".
For E-Signing service we will introduce an improved workflow around Group set up. In the new version you can create group, add users to that group, add/use existing email templates to the group, and connect to different notifications all in one go. User administration will be part of the header menu and now you can create users along with the required permissions directly during creation of user. We also introduce My settings in the header menu, where the users can select their default language, company, and page upon login every time.
In addition to this, if you also have the E-Archive service the most noticeable change is that you will no longer need to switch to another web page to access your archives.
Please contact support.esecurity@nets.eu for more information

When you add a user in the portal that should use MitID Business for log in, you will either need to know the PPI (Persistent Professional Identifier) number of the user or you can add CVR-RID number of the user.
When you choose MitID Business as Type of eID for the signing process, signers will be able to use their MitID Business for signing the document.
Authentication-Based Signing:
Nets E-Signing Portal (through E-Signing service) utilizes the different eID authentication services for issuing a short-term signing certificate. The short-term certificate is used to create a strong PKI-based signature attached to the document. The certificate is issued by a Nets CA. It is valid for 15 minutes and it is only used for this particular purpose. The certificate and a certificate validation (OCSP) are added to the SDO (signed document object).
