Advantages and purpose of digital signature

When creating a digital signature, it is important to know its types and capabilities:

• simple - has no legal force, but confirms authorship and is used in the internal document flow of the company;
• unqualified - protects a document from forgery, confirms authorship, is used to exchange documents with third parties;
• qualified - it can be issued only in a special center, has an increased level of security and full legal force, an analogue of a person’s handwritten signature.

It is the latter type of electronic signature that gives the right to submit electronic reports to regulatory authorities, participate in electronic trading, in arbitration processes, etc.

Digital signature for reports to departments

To send a report to the department, you can use two methods: special programs, the most common of which are Kontur-Extern, Taxcom-Sprinter, SbiS++, etc. They are simple and user-friendly, help track the progress of the report through the processing stages and protect from a technical failure during the transfer of documents. Some official portals of government agencies allow you to transfer data for free, but their operation is unstable and data may be lost due to problems. Whichever method you choose, you will need an electronic key to communicate with departments. Moreover, each department requires its own signature, so it is better to order a whole set - many distribution centers offer a discount on such orders.

This document allows you to submit to the certification center all the necessary papers to obtain an electronic signature, and in return receive a certificate and all the signature keys. Issued if it is impossible for the manager to obtain the ES personally. You can obtain a digital signature yourself - but in this case, many of its capabilities are unavailable to legal entity. A simple signature only allows you to certify authorship without guarantees of authenticity and use part of government services. A qualified signature with full legal force opens up a new path for a company of any level: it means access to the international arena, complete confidentiality of transferred data, and significant savings on document flow.

The issuance of qualified signatures is carried out by certification centers with certified equipment and software. Such organizations have extensive experience in the market and issue a digital signature in a matter of days.

Hello, dear colleague! In this article, we will talk in detail about how to obtain an electronic signature and what is required of you for this. This is most likely not an article, but step-by-step algorithm, in which I tried to answer all the most important questions on this topic. Now I won’t tell you what a digital signature is and why it is needed. I talked about this in some detail in mine. You can go and read it, and then return to study this article. So, let's begin...

Algorithm for obtaining an electronic signature

Currently, electronic document management is becoming the most common and convenient way for taxpayers to interact with tax authorities.

The benefits of electronic communication can be appreciated by users of the “” service (hereinafter referred to as “ Personal Area"), posted on the official website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia (). Functionality The “Personal Account” is very extensive: the service allows you to independently control calculations for property taxes; and also monitor the progress of the audit of declarations sent to the tax authority; view information on income submitted by tax agents in the form of 2-NDFL certificates; pay taxes, etc.

From July 1, 2015 to the Tax Code Russian Federation appropriate amendments have been made and electronic service“Taxpayer’s personal account” received official status information resource, which can be used for taxpayers and tax authorities to exercise their rights and obligations.

Users of the “Taxpayer Personal Account for Individuals” service have the opportunity to send tax documents (declarations) and information signed with an enhanced non-qualified electronic signature to the tax authorities. Only those signed with a non-qualified electronic signature electronic documents are recognized as equivalent to paper documents signed by the taxpayer’s own handwritten signature.

Receive an electronic signature for interaction with tax authorities in electronic form You can absolutely free of charge through your “Personal Account” in the “Profile” section. The Federal Tax Service of Russia offers two options for storing a signature: the key to it is stored either on the user’s computer or in a storage facility protected by the tax service.

How to obtain an electronic signature from a certification center? Where to buy an electronic digital signature? What does the electronic signature law regulate?

The weather is miserable: rain and snow, piercing wind. Moreover, this process is in the Arbitration Court, for which additional documents are urgently required. If only I could send them there without leaving home... Is something similar familiar to you?

Nowadays, electronic signature is used by both legal and individuals. It is recognized by courts, regulatory authorities and government agencies.

The publication material will allow you to get a clear idea of ​​the process of registration and use of digital signatures.

1. What is an electronic digital signature

Let's start with the basic concept of the article.

Electronic digital signature(EDS) - an analogue of a personal signature, provides the ability to endorse electronic documentation. Serves as a guarantor of its integrity and authenticity.

An electronic signature (ES) allows you to:

• authenticate the source of the message;
• control the consistency of the shipment;
• make it impossible to refuse the fact that a message has been endorsed.

The electronic signature scheme includes two processes: a signature generation algorithm and a verification algorithm.

To better visualize this process, I depicted it schematically.

The question often arises about the legality of such approval. There is a lot about this arbitrage practice, confirming the legality of the digital signature.

Example

The decision of the Volga-Vyatka Court in one of the cases considered in 2010 is indicative.

Company "A" filed a claim against its partner, company "B" for the return Money for goods delivered but not paid for. During the transaction, electronic documents certified by digital signature were used.

The defendant explained the lack of payment by saying that the documents presented, certified in this way, are invalid, and therefore cannot serve as a basis for making payments.

The court did not accept the defendant’s explanation, since an additional agreement had previously been signed between the former partners, allowing the use of documentation endorsed by electronic signature within the framework of these contractual relations.

And, therefore, all documents are drawn up properly and have a visa from an authorized person. The court satisfied the claim in full.

Regulation of electronic signatures is carried out within the framework of Federal Law No. 63 “On Electronic Signatures”.

It regulates its use:

• in civil transactions;
• provision of public services;
• provision of municipal services;
• performing government functions, etc.

There are some requirements for EP.

The main ones are:

• ease of authentication;
• high difficulty of its forgery.

2. What types of digital signature are there - TOP 3 main types

Varieties of digital signatures are prescribed by law. Article 5 of Federal Law 63 mentions: simple and reinforced. Reinforced, in turn, can be unqualified (UNEP) and qualified (UKEP).

Let's get to know them better!

Type 1. Simple electronic signature

So, a simple electronic “autograph”, formed using special codes (passwords), indicates that the messages being sent have been endorsed.

He is not vested with any other powers.

Type 2. Enhanced unqualified electronic signature

This option is formed in the process of cryptographic transformation of information using an electronic signature key.

Such approval makes it possible not only to identify the author, but also to identify unauthorized adjustments to the sent message.

Type 3. Enhanced qualified electronic signature

This is the most protected species.

It has all the features of UNEP and some additional qualities:

• the verification key is contained in the qualified certificate;
• is created and verified by UKEP using tools approved by the FSB.

3. Where is an electronic signature used - an overview of the main options

Depending on the type, electronic signatures are used in various fields.

Possible areas of application of electronic signature:

Let's look at each use case in more detail.

Option 1. Internal and external document flow

ES is especially in demand in internal and external document flow. Company documentation endorsed in this way is considered approved and becomes protected from adjustments.

With electronic document flow between counterparties, documents signed with an electronic signature receive legal status. Both contracts and primary accounting documents (invoices, etc.) can be certified.

Option 2. Arbitration court

Often, when considering cases in the Arbitration Court, additional evidence may be required, which is permitted to be submitted electronically.

Certification of such documents by electronic signature is required by law. Then they have legal force and are equivalent to written evidence on paper.

Today arbitration courts The following documents certified by digital signature are accepted for consideration in the Russian Federation:

• statements;
• petitions;
• reviews.

Option 3. Document flow with individuals

Individuals still rarely sign any documents with a digital signature, although every year this practice is becoming more and more popular, especially among people working remotely.

An electronic digital signature allows them to exchange acts of acceptance and delivery of their services in electronic form. With the help of an electronic signature, individual inventors have the right to submit a patent application on the Rospatent website. Its owners can write an application for state registration of an individual entrepreneur or legal entity directly on the website of the tax department.

Option 4. Public services

The government services portal makes life much easier for Russians. If you want to get full access to the portal services without any problems, issue an electronic signature.

With its help, you can interact with the traffic police, submit applications for a passport, the registry office, etc.

Option 5. Regulatory authorities

Electronic reporting certified using a qualified electronic signature has legal force and is recognized by regulatory agencies.

With its help, reports are submitted not only to the tax office, but also to the Pension Fund of Russia, Social Insurance Fund, Rosstat, etc.

Option 6. Electronic trading

Electronic trading is specialized sites, places where suppliers and buyers meet, transactions for the purchase/sale of services, works and goods are concluded.

To participate in them, you must purchase an electronic signature. Documents signed in this way confirm the reality of the proposals and become legal.

4. How to get an electronic signature - 6 simple steps

You have heard that digital signature allows its owners to perform various legally significant actions without leaving their office or home.

Are you eager to get such a signature and join the ranks of its lucky owners, but don’t know how to do it right?

You have come to the right address! In my mini-instructions, I will tell you how to get an EP quickly and correctly.

Step 1. Decide on the type of electronic signature

Before ordering an electronic signature certificate, I recommend answering the question again: “Why do I need it?”

If you plan to use it only for internal electronic document management of your company, then a simple or unqualified digital signature for a legal entity is suitable for you.

If you use a signature in external electronic exchange, then you already need a qualified electronic signature.

Step 2. Select a certification authority

Certification center (CA) is a legal entity, one of the statutory activities of which is the formation and issuance of digital signatures.

Choose a CA that is as close as possible to your location. Also pay attention to the cost of services and the production time of the electronic signature.

You may be interested in the “On-site clearance” service, then choose a center that offers this service.

Step 3. Fill out and send the application

The type of signature has been determined, the certification center has been selected, and it’s time for the application.

You can submit it in two ways:

• make a personal visit to the office;
• fill out the form on the center's website.

It contains only the most necessary information: Full name, contact details (phone, email).

Having received the application, the CA manager will contact you and clarify all the data necessary for issuing the digital signature, and advise on prices and conditions.

Step 4. Pay the bill

After processing the application by the center’s specialists, you will receive an invoice for payment. As you know, services are usually paid according to the principle “Money in the evening, chairs in the morning”, that is, on the terms of 100% prepayment.

The cost of an electronic signature is on average 5-7 thousand rubles, the minimum price is 1.5 thousand rubles.

It includes:

• generating a signature key certificate;
• required software;
• technical support.

You can pay the bill either by bank transfer or in cash.

Step 5. Provide documents

The list of documents depends on the applicant’s status: legal entity, individual entrepreneur, individual.

The table shows the required documents taking into account the applicant’s status:

№	Applicant status	Required documents
1	Entity	Copies: certificate of registration with the Federal Tax Service, confirmation of the authority of the head of the legal entity, the applicant’s passport, SNILS of the certificate owner, power of attorney confirming the authority of the certificate owner, power of attorney to receive the certificate (if not the owner) Original: application for certificate production
2	IP	Copies: certificate of state registration of an individual as an individual entrepreneur, passport, SNILS Originals: application for the production of a certificate, a notarized power of attorney confirming the authority of the owner of the certificate acting on behalf of the individual entrepreneur (if the owner of the Certificate is not an individual entrepreneur), a notarized power of attorney to receive the certificate (if the certificate is received by a representative of the individual entrepreneur)
3	Individual	Copies: SNILS, passport Original: statement

Step 6. Obtaining digital signature

You can get a signature at collection points, of which there are now many. You will find their addresses on the website of the selected center.

An electronic signature is usually produced within 2-3 days. Some CAs provide a service for urgent registration and issuance (within an hour). Having visited the point at the appointed time, providing original documents (for control verification), you will receive your digital signature.

Remember! An electronic signature is valid for a year, after which it requires renewal or reissue.

6. How to store an electronic digital signature - 3 proven methods

In the modern world, the problem of protecting various information, including electronic signatures, is becoming increasingly urgent.

To protect it, owners use various ways. I will briefly tell you about the most common ones.

Method 1: Local storage

A very common storage method is local. In this case, the electronic autograph is placed on a computer, for example, in a registry.

Disadvantages of the local method:

• no key mobility;
• there is no way to constantly control the key by its owner.

Method 2: Cloud storage

This method involves storing the key on a remote secure service.

To use it, you must go through strict multi-step authentication, which greatly increases the security of this storage.

Method 3. Storage on tokens

And finally, the third method is tokens.

A token is a device capable of generating a key pair and digital signature. The main purpose of this device is to store electronic keys.

By entrusting your electronic digital signature to a token, you can reliably protect it from intruders.

To use it, you must enter a PIN code. It's almost impossible to find it. In addition, 3 unsuccessful attempts and the token will be blocked.

Advantages of storing digital signature on a token:

• highly reliable storage method;
• PIN code access;
