Batch signature cards
Batch signature cards are special signature cards that enable signing several files, typical are 100 signatures, while you must only enter your PIN once. However, you must enter your PIN again for every new selection of files.
Multi signature cards
Multi signature cards are special signature cards for mass signatures that enable an unlimited number of signatures per PIN entry. Governikus DATA Boreum supports these signature cards, however only analogous to batch signature cards. For every signature process the PIN must be entered at least once. The number of signatures per PIN entry is limited by Governikus DATA Boreum to 500 signatures.
Single QES with batch signature card or multi signature card
If you call the "Sign" function and pass exactly one document to Governikus DATA Boreum, only one qualified electronic signature (QES) can be applied after entering the PIN with a batch signature card or a multi signature card. Afterwards the signing process is ended for security reasons and the respective smartcard can only be reused after reapplying the PIN.
Multiple QES with batch signature card or multi signature card
If you pass more than one document to Governikus DATA Boreum you can apply all of the requested qualified electronic signatures (QES) by only entering the PIN once. Signatures are applied up to the respective card limit. The PIN entry is only valid for the number of documents passed to Governikus DATA Boreum. Every new set of documents passed to Governikus DATA Boreum requires reapplying the PIN.
If you are signing with a batch signature card and you pass more than one hundred documents to Governikus DATA Boreum the PIN must be re-entered after 100 signatures were applied. The same applies analogously to multi signature cards and their card limit of 500 signatures.
