What are digital signatures?
When signing documents online, no method is more advance or secure as using a digital signature. You can use a digital signature to comply with the most demanding legal and regulatory requirements because it provides the highest level of assurance about each signer’s identity and the authenticity of the documents they sign.
Your digital ID is trusted.
Compliant, certificate-based digital IDs come from accredited providers. You need to prove your identity before you can get one.
It all gets encrypted.
Your own digital signature and the PDF document you sign are encrypted together and bound with a tamper-evident seal.
It’s unique to you.
Every time you sign a document, you use your own unique digital certificate and PIN to validate your credentials and prove you’re who you say you are.
It’s easy to validate.
Both the signed document and your digital signature can be revalidated by a Certificate Authority CA) or TSP for up to 10 years after the signing event.
