What is E-Signature?<\/h2>\r\n

\r\n E-signature; wet signature used in electronic environment, authentication<\/em>, data integrity<\/em> And undeniability<\/em> It is a digital signature based on a qualified electronic certificate (NES) that provides assurances. Under appropriate conditions, it produces the same legal consequences as a wet signature under Electronic Signature Law No. 5070. It ensures that documents cannot be altered and that the signer is verified.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

\r\n

How Does E-Signature Work?<\/h2>\r\n
    \r\n
  1. Certificate Generation:<\/strong> Once your identity is verified, a qualified electronic certificate will be created for you.<\/li>\r\n
  2. Secure Key:<\/strong> The private key is only held by you; when signing, a cryptographic digest unique to the document is generated.<\/li>\r\n
  3. Signature & Timestamp:<\/strong> The signature is associated with your certificate; if desired with timestamp<\/em> the moment of signature is finalized.<\/li>\r\n
  4. Verification:<\/strong> The other party checks the integrity of the signature and the document with the public key\/certificate chain.<\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n
    \r\n

    Main Benefits of E-Signature<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n
    • Legal Validity:<\/strong> Same effect as a wet signature in appropriate scenarios.<\/li>\r\n
    • Speed and Efficiency:<\/strong> Signing in seconds with remote teams reduces processes.<\/li>\r\n
    • Cost Savings:<\/strong> Significant reduction in paper, cargo, archive and operational loads.<\/li>\r\n
    • Security:<\/strong> Cryptographic protection prevents unauthorized changes.<\/li>\r\n
    • Traceability:<\/strong> Signature and approval flows are recorded and ready for auditing.<\/li>\r\n
    • Integration:<\/strong> Compliance with e-Payroll, KEP, e-Invoice, e-Ledger, contract\/supply flows.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n
      \r\n

      Where is it used?<\/h2>\r\n
      \r\n
      e-Government applications and official correspondence<\/div>\r\n
      Contract, offer, order approval processes<\/div>\r\n
      e-Payroll, HR notifications and KEP notifications<\/div>\r\n
      e-Invoice\/e-Ledger signing and applications<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

      E-Signature Types & Related Concepts (Summary)<\/h2>\r\n
        \r\n
      • NES (Qualified Electronic Certificate):<\/strong> It is produced in the name of a real person and enables e-signature.<\/li>\r\n
      • Timestamp:<\/strong> It proves the exact time of the document\/signature; increases the long-term evidentiary power.<\/li>\r\n
      • Remote (Cloud) Signature \/ Mobile Signature:<\/strong> Secure hardware and device-independent two-factor signing.<\/li>\r\n
      • Financial Seal (for informational purposes):<\/strong> It is used by legal entities to sign e-documents; it is different from e-signature.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

        Application and Installation Process<\/h2>\r\n
        \r\n
        \r\n

        1) Identity Verification<\/h3>\r\n

        The applicant's identity is verified; the certification period (e.g., 1-3 years) is selected.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

        \r\n

        2) Certificate Production<\/h3>\r\n

        A personalized certificate is created and a secure key is prepared.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

        \r\n

        3) Installation & Activation<\/h3>\r\n

        Signature applications, drivers, and remote\/cloud signature access, if necessary, are defined.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

        \r\n

        4) Testing & Training<\/h3>\r\n

        Sample signing, verification, and timestamp tests are performed; the user is trained.<\/p>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n

        \r\n Notes:<\/strong> As goktas.net, we provide end-to-end support in e-signature application, installation and usage training.\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

        Safety & Compliance Tips<\/h2>\r\n
          \r\n
        • Private key security:<\/strong> Don't share it with anyone; use a strong password and two-factor authentication.<\/li>\r\n
        • Certificate tracking:<\/strong> Watch the expiration date closely; do not delay renewing.<\/li>\r\n
        • Verification habit:<\/strong> Check the signed documents you receive with verification tools.<\/li>\r\n
        • Archive policy:<\/strong> Keep signed documents legally compliant, backed up, and audit-ready.<\/li>\r\n
        • Integrity with KEP:<\/strong> Ensure notification assurance by using KEP in notification\/exercise flows.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n

          Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\r\n
          \r\n Can an e-signature replace a wet signature?<\/summary>\r\n

          Under Law No. 5070, it has the same legal effect as a wet signature under appropriate circumstances. Special procedures may be required for certain exceptional transactions.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n

          \r\n Is a timestamp required?<\/summary>\r\n

          It is especially recommended for documents that will be kept for a long time and have high evidentiary value; it provides undisputed proof of the moment of signing.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n

          \r\n What is the difference with remote\/cloud signature?<\/summary>\r\n

          The private key is held by the service in secure hardware; you initiate signing with multi-factor authentication. This provides device-agnostic functionality.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n

          \r\n How does renewal, cancellation, suspension occur?<\/summary>\r\n

          Renew your certificate before it expires; immediately suspend or revoke lost or suspicious access. goktas.net provides operational support during these processes.<\/p>\r\n <\/details>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n \r\n
