A digital signature is the secure and safe way to digitally sign all of your electronic documents. Once your signature is applied the data is encrypted and unable to be altered or changed. Only the people you have supplied with your matching public digital certificate will be able to open and authenticate your signature. Using this method is acceptable in place of paper-based authentication methods for organizations of all sizes.
You Have to Convert a Digital Signature into a Qualified Signature When Used in the EU
You will need to make a modification when using a digital signature on a global level in other countries which are part of the European Union (EU). All that is required is to create digital certificates with the signature data following the qualified signature standards as established by the EU. These standards allow for electronic signatures to be used as acceptable forms of digital authentication.
