Certificates
A digital signature replaces your manual signature online, allowing you to sign your emails and PDFs electronically, for example. By using a digital signature, the person sending a signed email guarantees that the email was written by them and has not been altered during transmission.
At HFU, digital signatures can be used for the following purposes:
- As a signature when sending emails or for sending encrypted emails
- For the “Factually correct!” signing of e-invoices in HIP (internal university portal)
- For signing PDF files (unfortunately not currently possible)
Only HFU employees can apply for a user certificate. Only one application per person is required.

Important information
You need a user certificate in order to sign invoices correctly in the internal university portal (HIP). You do not need a certificate for any other applications in HIP.
