A digital signature is a secure electronic way of verifying who created, revised or approved a Word document. It’s an essential tool for any business that needs to confirm the authenticity of documents and contracts without relying on physical signatures. This ‘digital fingerprint’ is applied using a unique cryptographic algorithm and can only be used by the legitimate owner—ensuring even more secure and reliable transactions. With a digital signature, businesses can quickly and conveniently ensure quality control, accountability and security when signing off on important documents.
