This process uses each signer's public e.firma certificate to encrypt the documents they will sign. The signer must decrypt their documents locally on their computer using Mifiel, after which they can sign them, with a very simple process using their browser and e.firma. It is an advanced feature, please contact us if you would like to have it in your Mifiel account. For more details on how it works, [please read our blog](https://blog.mifiel.com/proceso-de-firma-privado/).
