What is document signing?
Document signing applies a digital signature or electronic seal to confirm a document’s authenticity, integrity, and origin.
When you sign a document, the system adds a cryptographic signature using a trusted certificate. This signature links the document to a verified individual or organization and confirms:
Authenticity: Confirms the signer’s identity
Integrity: Confirms the document has not changed since signing
Non-repudiation: Prevents the signer from denying the signature
Unlike handwritten or scanned signatures, digital document signing uses encryption and trusted certificate authorities. This provides verifiable proof of who signed the document and whether it has been modified.
