| Process | A signing workflow: one container of document(s) sent to one or more recipients to sign, approve or view. |
| Container | The signed file bundle that SignBox produces (an ASiC‑E .edoc / .asice file holding the original document(s) plus the electronic signatures). |
| Initiator | The logged‑in user who creates (starts) a process. |
| Recipient | A person added to a process. Each recipient has a role. |
| Recipient group | A set of recipients that act together. Multiple groups sign in order (sequential signing). |
| Role | What a recipient does: Signer (signs), Approver (approves without signing), Viewer (can only view). |
| Document profile / Document type | A pre‑defined template of settings (and optional custom attributes / e‑seal) chosen when creating a process. |
| Smart‑ID | A mobile e‑identity app used to authenticate and sign. Confirmation always happens on the user’s phone with a PIN. |

| QES | Qualified Electronic Signature - the highest legal level of e‑signature in the EU. |
| XAdES‑LT | Signature format with a timestamp and long‑term validation data (LT = Long‑Term). |
