Digital Signature

A digital signature serves as the electronic equivalent of a handwritten signature, offering unparalleled security and authenticity for digital documents. It employs cryptographic techniques to bind an individual’s identity to a piece of electronic information, ensuring the document’s integrity and origin. This means a digital signature can verify that the document hasn’t been tampered with since it was signed, and that it genuinely came from the purported signer. Essential for paperless transactions, digital signatures streamline processes, enhance trust, and hold legal validity, making them indispensable in today’s digital world for various applications like e-filing, online contracts, and secure communication. They are issued by trusted Certifying Authorities, ensuring reliability and compliance.
