Are you tired of dealing with the hassle of printing, signing, and scanning documents?
A digital signature is a secure electronic signature that verifies the authenticity and integrity of a document. It is created using a certificate-based digital ID issued by a trusted third-party certificate authority (CA).
How Digital Signatures Work?
Digital signatures use advanced encryption technology to create a unique digital document fingerprint. This fingerprint or hash is then encrypted using the signer's private key, which only the signer can access. When the document is received, the recipient can use the signer's public key to decrypt the hash and verify its authenticity and integrity.
