1. DEFINITIONS.
“Advanced Electronic Signature” (or “AES”) means advanced electronic signature as defined in Article 3-11 of eIDAS.
“Certificate(s)” means the Certificate generated by the CA via the Service for a Signer, which attests the unique link between the Signer Information and a Public Key. The Public Key is uniquely associated with a Private Key managed by DocuSign France. In this case, the term “Certificate” means the certificate for electronic signature, as defined in Article 3-14 of eIDAS, generated by DocuSign France to the benefit of a Signer.
“Certification Authority” (or “CA”) is DocuSign France, the authority that generates Certificates and manages the Certificate lifecycle (issuance, renewal, revocation) on the request of the Registration Authority, in accordance with the rules and practices defined in its Certificate Policy(ies) and the associated Certification Practice Statement.
“Certificate Policy(ies)” (or “CP”) means the set of rules published by the CA. A Certificate Policy describes the general characteristics of the Certificates as well as the obligations and responsibilities of the CA, the RA, Signers, Certificate requesters and any other PKI component involved in the management of a Certificate lifecycle. The Certificate Policy(ies) of DocuSign and its (their) successive update(s) can be accessed on DocuSign’s website (https://www.docusign.com/fr-fr/societe/certification-policies), and are an integral part of this Service Attachment. For the purposes of this Service Attachment, the applicable OID is 1.3.6.1.4.1.22234.2.14.3.32.
“Certificate Revocation List” (or “CRL”) means the list of invalid Certificates that have been revoked before their expiration date. CRLs are issued periodically and are digitally signed by the CA that issued the Certificates in the list. The URL for where to find the CRL is contained in the Certificate.
“Documentation” means the commercial, functional, and technical documentation relating to the Service and provided by DocuSign to Customer, including Certificate Policies. Documentation can be in a paper format, on a magnetic storage medium or in any other format used by DocuSign.

“eIDAS” means EU Regulation No. 910/2014.

“Private Key” means a mathematical key, associated to the Public Key, that is secret, uniquely contained within a hardware security module (HSM), and remotely activated by the Signer to sign eDocuments. For the purposes of this Service Attachment, the Private Keys are generated for only the purpose of a single Transaction and are erased after the completion of such Transaction.
“Registration Authority (or “RA”) is DocuSign France, the entity that registers requests for the issuance, renewal, and revocation of Certificates.

The RA interacts directly with the CA and uses DocuSign Signature to interact with the Signer.
