What is and how to download the simple electronic signature with biometric verification evidence?

To strengthen its attribution, simple electronic signatures in Mifiel are accompanied by additional evidence

When someone signs in Mifiel with a simple electronic signature, they must go through a biometric identity verification process in which evidence of each signer's signature is collected. This evidence can be shown during a trial to prove the authorship of the signature. Below we show you how to download it.

The advanced electronic signature does not require additional evidence as it has a guarantee of non-repudiation.
