What is Document Signing Certificates?
Document Signing Certificates are digital certificates that can be used to sign digital documents such as Adobe PDF files, LibreOffice, OpenOffice or Microsoft Office files.
Document signing is the action of adding a trusted digital signature to a document. A digital signature is similar to handwritten signature. It is an electronic verification of the sender.
These Document Signing Certificates or Digital Certificates are issued by an accredited authority known as Certificate Authority (CA). To put it simply, these certificates are somewhat similar to your Identity Card , Driving License and Passport.
With the certificates, your documents are protected and secured with trusted digital signatures. They are a must-have when dealing with confidential documents online, such as contracts, bills, e-statements, financial documents, etc.
WHY SIGN AND SECURE DOCUMENTS?
-
Authentication
It guarantees the authenticity of the sender for the document’s receiver.
-
Integrity
It generates a tamper seal to alert the receiver in case any unauthorized edits are discovered.
-
Non – repudiation
It records a timestamp of when a document was signed, This supports non-repudiation, time-sensitive transactions, audit trails and regulation requirements.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
During the process, a PKI-based digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA) generates the digital signature. The document owner can then easily use it to sign any documents with just a simple click!
