  1. What is an e-signature?

E-Sign or electronic signature is an efficient, legally binding way to get approval on electronic documents. E-Sign is secure and verifiable and can replace a handwritten signature in virtually any process.

Key points:

  • At any time & from anywhere
  • Ensures the signer’s authenticity
  • Creating State of non-repudiation
  • Ensure the document’s integrity
  1. How does e-signature work?

When a signer electronically signs a document, the signature is created with the signer’s private key, which the signer always keeps secure. The mathematical algorithm works like a cipher, generating data based on the document and encrypting it. The resulting encrypted data is the electronic signature. The time when the document was signed is also written on the signature. The signature will be invalid if the document is tempered after you sign it.

  1. What is the difference between Traditional & e-Signature?

Basically, we use an electronic signature to confirm the terms of a particular document, equivalent to a handwritten signature. The only difference is that an electronic signature is digitized, but it is also used to verify a document.
