You can complete eliminate physical signatures on paper, as well as paper, itself, by initiating an e signature process. An electronic signature can be attached to all different types of digital documents. Instead of having to print a paper copy and sign each form, you just attach your electronic signature. Delivery of the digital documents can be shared through network locations or sent through email.
Ensuring Authenticity Requires Using a Secure E Signature
Using an e signature without the proper security does not provide the ability to trust the signed documents. You will need to use digital signatures when you want the same level of authentication you previously used on paper. A digital signature is encrypted, which means that only used on a document, only specific people will have access to decrypt the signature and check its authenticity. Without the necessary decryption key, documents cannot be opened, preventing others from altering or changing the signature.
