Remote QES - Creating a Signature (channeled by Relying Party / one-​time certificate)

High Level Description:
In the remote flow channeled by the Relying Party, the signature is created using a signing (private) key held within a Qualified Signature Creation Device operated by a Qualified Trust Service Provider.
The flow is initiated by a Relying Party and the user views the document or the data to be signed within the Relying Party’s interface as the Relying Party channels the signature process. The signature is
created by utilizing one-​time certificates which are seamlessly created for the User. It shall be clarified that even though the concept of one-​time certificates is being depicted in this blueprint, it is also
possible that 'long-​lived' certificates can also be utilised in the flow.
The EUDI Wallet computes the hash digest of the document to be signed and the responsibility of finalizing the signature (AdES) and the signed document lies with the Relying Party, which returns the
signed document to the EUDI Wallet.
