  • Why are digital signatures secure?

    A digital signature is a specific type of signature that is backed by a digital certificate, providing proof of your identity. Digital signatures are recognized as being a more secure type of e-signature because they’re cryptographically bound to the signed document and can be verified. When you use a digital certificate obtained from a trusted third party to e-sign, the resulting digital signature is virtually impossible to spoof. It also provides powerful evidence of signer identity, that the signed document was not altered, and that the signatures are valid.
