What are the different levels of certificates?

There are three levels of certificates: simple, advanced and qualified. The level of the certificate depends on how you have been identified by LuxTrust or one of its registration authorities (for example, your bank) and the IT infrastructure that hosts your certificate.

The level of the certificate used has legal implications, in particular on the legal validity attached to any document that you sign using your device. This is explained in more detail in question 5 below.

Before creating your LuxTrust identity, you had previously been identified face-to-face and furnished with a so-called advanced certificate. Our IT infrastructure has since been certified as "qualified" by our regulatory body, which is why we are planning to upgrade your certificate.
