ETSI Advanced Electronic Signatures (PAdES, XAdES, CAdES)
The AdES family — PAdES for PDF, XAdES for XML, CAdES for CMS-wrapped data — are the ETSI standards defining how an advanced or qualified electronic signature is constructed, embedded and validated. They are what an eIDAS qualified signature is checked against, and they carry the certificates, timestamps and revocation data needed to validate a signature long after it was applied.
Also known as PAdES, XAdES, CAdES, Advanced Electronic Signatures, ETSI AdES.
Providers that carry AdES 0
No provider in the catalog carries this standard as a tag yet. That is a statement about the catalog's tagging, not about adoption: a provider that implements AdES and says so in its APIs.json profile appears here on the next build. Add or correct a listing.
Read from the API Evangelist standards directory. Provider links come from the catalog's own identity tags and are rebuilt nightly. If this page is wrong about a standard or a provider, say so.
