Digital signature
By issuing digital certificates to a pool of users (employees, clients or citizens), companies and organizations can enable these users to digitally sign a wide range of documents, giving them the same legal value as paper documents that have been signed by hand, without any of the costs associated with issuing, sending, processing and archiving the documents.
In addition to the considerable savings in administrative costs achieved through streamlining processes in this way, digital signatures also serve to improve the general level of confidence in e-commerce and reduce the risk of litigation and fraud by providing legally-binding, non-repudiable proof that a document has been signed by a particular person.
Digital signatures are particularly suited to:
- Standard, repetitive contracts (such as those used by temping agencies, insurance firms or banks when approving mortgages)
- Authorizing bank transfers, money wiring or share trading
- Orders for e-commerce applications
