We have come a long way since the GPS watch. Now cities like Barcelona use sensors to monitor everything from noise pollution to waste management. We are on the brink of smart cities, smart clothing, smart farming, house automation and even the IoMT (Internet of Medical Things), which promises to radically improve healthcare. We live in the digital era of hyperconnectivity. According to Gartner [1], we can expect that in 2020 more than 20 billion devices will be connected to the Internet. This implies a dramatic improvement in technology and the creation of an amount of data never seen before.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is very crowded. Connected devices outnumber people. The United Nations estimates the current world population at 7.6 billion[1], and Gartner projects over 20.8 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020[2]. Connected things are what make the IoT – sensors, cameras, wearable electronics, medical devices, automatic controls. They all must have unique identifiers and the ability to collect and transfer data over networks to enable monitoring, surveillance, and execution of decisions based on the collected data with little or no human intervention. The use of IoT technologies holds enormous potential in practically every segment of human enterprise – government, banking and finance, healthcare, retail, agriculture, and e-commerce to name a few. But making the IoT work requires trust in the devices and the data they collect.

Electronic devices are now used in many interactions, even in legally binding transactions and for document validation. The digital expansion affects everyone, customers and companies alike, every day. As the virtual transfer of documents increases, international regulations are being established. In the wake of this digital revolution, the Cloud Signature Consortium was created with the aim of making sure that trust and user experience are improved in every remote signing solution.
