Guide for
Understanding Digital
Signature

Digital signatures are like electronic
“fingerprints.” In the form of a coded
message, the digital signature securely
associates a signer with a document in a
recorded transaction. Digital signatures
use a standard, accepted format,
called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), to
provide the highest levels of security and
universal acceptance. They are a specific
signature technology implementation of
electronic signature (eSignature).
WHAT IS DIGITAL SIGNATURE

The broad category of electronic signatures (eSignatures)
encompasses many types of electronic signatures. The category
includes digital signatures, which are a specific technology
implementation of electronic signatures. Both digital signatures
and other eSignature solutions allow you to sign documents and
authenticate the signer. However, there are differences in
purpose, technical implementation, geographical use,
and legal and cultural acceptance of digital signatures versus
other types of eSignatures.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIGITAL
SIGNATURE AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE

In particular, the use of digital signature technology for
eSignatures varies significantly between countries that follow
open, technology-neutral eSignature laws, including the United
States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia, and those that
follow tiered eSignature models that prefer locally defined
standards that are based on digital signature technology,
including many countries in the European Union, South America,
and Asia. In addition, some industries also support specific
standards that are based on digital signature technology.
