What Is a Digital Signature?
A digital signature is a cryptographic seal that proves a document is authentic and hasn't been altered. Unlike a handwritten signature, it uses mathematical algorithms to verify the signer's identity and document integrity.
How It Works
- Public Key Infrastructure (PKI): Each signer gets a unique digital certificate tied to their identity.
- Cryptographic Hash: The document is encrypted with a unique hash that changes if any modification is made.
- Tamper-Evident Seals: Any post-signing modification is immediately detectable.
- Audit Trail: Every action is timestamped and logged with IP address, device info, and signer identity.
Why It Matters
- Legal Validity: Recognized in 50+ countries under eIDAS, ESIGN Act, and international treaties.
- Fraud Prevention: Cryptographic verification makes forgery virtually impossible.
- Non-Repudiation: Signers cannot deny having signed — the cryptographic proof is definitive.
- Document Integrity: Proves the document hasn't been changed since signing.
