Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) are the digital equivalent (that is electronic format) of physical or paper certificates. Few Examples of physical certificates are drivers' licenses, passports or membership cards. Certificates serve as proof of identity of an individual for a certain purpose; for example, a driver's license identifies someone who can legally drive in a particular country. Likewise, a digital certificate can be presented electronically to prove one’s identity, to access information or services on the Internet or to sign certain documents digitally.

Physical documents are signed manually, similarly, electronic documents, for example e-forms are required to be signed digitally using a Digital Signature Certificate.

Everyone can benefit from replacing slow paper-based workflows with secure digital signatures – from human resources to finance departments, legal teams to sales. Here are just a few examples of the industries adopting trusted digital signatures to shorten project timelines, save on costs, and automate workflows, while also ensuring document integrity and meeting compliance around electronic signatures.
