What are possible results of signature validation?
QES Portal distinguishes between four possible signature states and uses the following color representation for them:
Valid (full validation)
The signature has been confirmed to be valid.
Valid (partial validation)
The signature structure has been confirmed to be valid but it has not yet been possible to confirm the validity of all certificates e.g. due to outdated certificate revocation data.
After a short time (typically in a couple of hours), it will be possible to fully validate the signature as Valid or Invalid.
Invalid
The signature has been confirmed to be invalid.
The reasons may be several e.g. content of the document has been changed, signature was created after the revocation of signing certificate etc.
Indeterminate
Validation process has used all available information but was unable to automatically determine the validity of the signature.
The reasons may be several e.g. some data is temporarily unavailable or signing certificate has expired and the signature does not contain a valid time stamp.
Why is the validation result "Valid (partial validation)"?
Signature is determined to be "Valid (partial validation)" when it is necessary to wait (usually a few hours) for a new list of revoked certificates to be issued by one of the certification authorities that issued certificates used in the validation process.
Information on when it will be possible to fully validate the signature is provided by "Validates at" field in "Details" section of the validation result.

Time-stamps are issued by qualified trust service TSA Disig.
