Hello,We are currently evaluating the possibility of adopting DocuSign within our company, and we would like to understand whether the platform supports — or plans to support — CAdES digital signatures.Specifically, we need to know whether DocuSign can:sign documents in CAdES (.p7m) format, and use a qualified digital certificate stored on a USB token to apply the signature.From the information available in the DocuSign Community, it appears that DocuSign’s digital signatures are currently based on PAdES, not CAdES. Could you please confirm whether CAdES support can be implemented, either through existing features or via additional modules or add‑ons?

Hello,
We are currently evaluating the possibility of adopting DocuSign within our company, and we would like to understand whether the platform supports — or plans to support — CAdES digital signatures.

Specifically, we need to know whether DocuSign can:

sign documents in CAdES (.p7m) format, and
use a qualified digital certificate stored on a USB token to apply the signature.

From the information available in the DocuSign Community, it appears that DocuSign’s digital signatures are currently based on PAdES, not CAdES. Could you please confirm whether CAdES support can be implemented, either through existing features or via additional modules or add‑ons?
