Digital signatures

Improve document authenticity and integrity

Move from cumbersome paper shuffling to efficient online processes — more securely. 

With powerful encryption technology and public key infrastructure (PKI) support, Adobe digital signature solutions enable enterprises to exchange documents electronically with:

  • Assurance that the information has not been altered since it was sent
  • Verification of the signer's digital identity

In partnership with leading security vendors, including RSA, Entrust, VeriSign, GeoTrust, and ActivCard, Adobe Document Services provide enterprise solutions that instill trust in electronic documents while protecting brand integrity.
