Description
Many states require digital signatures to meet strict requirements, with more adopting it every year. While the term digital signature is broad and unstandardized, Digital Signature refers to a very specific kind of signature that is based on Public Key Cryptography. This underlying cryptography provides greater security and assurance over the signer’s identity, validity of the signature and integrity of the document contents. These concepts are important to meeting engineering requirements and most state signature laws specify the use of Digital Signatures.
