Demystifying Digital Signatures

Many countries around the world are using electronic signatures, and millions of users are comfortable signing their documents electronically. But questions around the software still arise. Electronic signatures are broadly accepted throughout the industrialised world as equivalent to a written "wet” signature. 

For most use cases, customers, and locations, an electronic signature is sufficient. However, regulated industries, governmental entities or specific European use cases may require or prefer digital certificate-based signatures, which offer a heightened level of identity verification and assurance compared to electronic signatures.
