Might be a nice (intellectual) crypto-exercise, but I am afraid that the
concept of the Qualified Signature will not get a widespread
implementation, expect for very specific areas/disciplines.
The main problem with the Qualified Certificate (overhere in Europe) is the
fact that the creating components have to obtain - as a minimum - Common
Criteria EAL4 ( Evaluated -Security- Assurance Level ) qualification; and
the lack of "card-readers" on User equipment.
On the European "exercise", started by a Directive of the European
Commission see:

On Common (Security) Criteria, see:
