Foreword
This Technical Specification (TS) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electronic Signatures and
Infrastructures (ESI).
The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering CAdES digital signatures. Full details of the entire
series can be found in part 1 [1].
The present document partly contains an evolved specification of CAdES previously published as
ETSI TS 101 733 [i.1].
Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
(Verbal forms for the expression of
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
Electronic commerce has emerged as a frequent way of doing business between companies across local, wide area and
global networks. Trust in this way of doing business is essential for the success and continued development of
electronic commerce. It is therefore important that companies using this electronic means of doing business have
suitable security controls and mechanisms in place to protect their transactions and to ensure trust and confidence with
their business partners. In this respect digital signatures are an important security component that can be used to protect
information and provide trust in electronic business.
The present document is intended to cover digital signatures supported by PKI and public key certificates, and aims to
meet the general requirements of the international community to provide trust and confidence in electronic transactions,
including, amongst other, applicable requirements from Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.7].
The present document can be used for any transaction between an individual and a company, between two companies,
between an individual and a governmental body, etc. The present document is independent of any environment. It can
be applied to any environment e.g. smart cards, GSM SIM cards, special programs for electronic signatures, etc.
The present document is part of a rationalized framework of standards (see ETSI TR 119 000 [i.2]). See
ETSI TR 119 100 [i.4] for getting guidance on how to use the present document within the aforementioned framework.

1 Scope
The present document specifies CAdES digital signatures. CAdES signatures are built on CMS signatures [i.8], by
incorporation of signed and unsigned attributes, which fulfil certain common requirements (such as the long term
validity of digital signatures, for instance) in a number of use cases.
The present document specifies a number of CAdES signature levels addressing incremental requirements to maintain
the validity of the signatures over the long term, in a way that a certain level always addresses all the requirements
addressed at levels that are below it. These CAdES extended signatures a higher degree of optionality than the CAdES
baseline signatures specified in ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1].
The present document aims at supporting digital signatures in different regulatory frameworks.
NOTE: Specifically but not exclusively, CAdES digital signatures specified in the present document aim at
supporting electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures, qualified electronic signatures,
electronic seals, advanced electronic seals, and qualified electronic seals as per Regulation (EU)
No 910/2014 [i.7].

4 Additional CAdES levels without references to
validation data
4.1 Overview
The present document specifies a number of additional levels of CAdES.
Each level is created by a combination of attributes defined in ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1].
NOTE 1: Clause 4.3 defines four CAdES levels namely the CAdES-E-BES, CAdES-E-EPES, CAdES-E-T, and
CAdES-E-A built on CAdES-E-T. The normative annex A defines levels of CAdES signatures
incorporating attributes that encapsulate references to validation data and attributes that encapsulate
time-stamp tokens on the aforementioned references.
NOTE 2: The requirements on the presence and cardinality of the attributes for each CAdES signature level are
expressed in tables whose formats and semantics are as specified in clause 6.2.2 of
ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1].
4.2 General requirements
The general CMS syntax shall be as specified in ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1], clause 4.
The signature shall contain a CMS SignedData, as defined in ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1], clause 4.4 and at least one
SignerInfo (ETSI TS 119 122-1 [1], clauses 4.6).
The algorithms and key lengths used to generate signatures should comply with ETSI TS 119 312 [i.6].

4.3 CAdES-E-BES, CAdES-EPES, CAdES-E-T and
CAdES-E-A built on CAdES-E-T signatures
CAdES-E-BES, CAdES-EPES, CAdES-E-T, and CAdES-E-A built on CAdES-E-T signatures shall be CAdES
signatures whose attributes satisfy the requirements specified in the present clause.
CAdES-E-EPES signatures are built on CAdES-E-BES signatures by adding one signature-policy-
identifier attribute.
CAdES-E-T signatures are built on CAdES-E-BES or CAdES-E-EPES signatures by adding one or more
signature-time-stamp attributes.
CAdES-E-A signatures are built on CAdES-E-T, CAdES-E-C, CAdES-E-X (of Type 1 and of Type 2), CAdES-E-X-
Long, and CAdES-E-X-L (of Type 1 and of Type 2) signatures.
Annex A specifies CAdES-E-C, CAdES-E-X (of Type 1 and of Type 2), CAdES-E-X-Long, and CAdES-E-X-L (of
Type 1 and of Type 2) signatures, and CAdES-E-A built on them.
