Trusted and compliant.
Signatures backed by digital certificates issued by third-party providers help you comply with regulations around the world.
A digital signature is secure because it's backed by a specific certificate which provides proof of your identity. It is recognized as being a more secure type of e-signature because it's cryptographically bound to the signed document and can be verified. When you use a digital certificate obtained from a trusted third party to e-sign, the resulting signature is virtually impossible to spoof. It also provides powerful evidence of signer identity, that the signed document was not altered, and that the signatures are valid.
A digital identity (or digital ID) is like an electronic passport. It provides strong evidence that you are who you say you are when e-signing a document. Each digital ID is issued by a trusted third party, such as a bank or government, after thoroughly verifying your identity.
Using a digital ID to authenticate your identity when e-signing a document strongly affirms that you have agreed to the terms and have authorized your e-signature on a specific document.
