What is a Digital Signature Certificate?A digital signature is a mathematical scheme that validates the integrity or authenticity of a given digital document or digital message. Digital signature certificates are the electronic or digital equivalent of paper certificates. Digital signature certificates validate your digital signature and for affixing digital signatures to e-documents digital signature certificates are required. Generally certificates are used to prove the identity of a person for particular purpose like driving license or passport or pan card or others. Similarly digital signature certificates are used to prove the identity of the person digitally to avail information or services on the internet and to sign certain documents digitally.Check Here : Digital Signature Certificate PriceWhat are the types of Digital Signature Certificates?There are three types of digital signature certificates depending on the validation of identity and type of use. They are:Class I DSC – Individuals get it for validating the email identification of the users and in situations where risk is minimal and here the signature is stored in software.Class II DSC – Business organizations or individuals use this digital signature certificate to validate the information given by the subscriber in the application against the information available in a trusted consumer database and in other such situations where security risk is moderate. In this case a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.Class III DSC – This digital certificate is directly issued by the signNowing authority and it is required that the person applying for DSC must be present at the signNowing authority’s premises and prove his/her identity in front of the authority and the security risk involved in this case is very high. In this case also a hardware cryptographic device is used for storing the signature.How to get a Digital Signature?A licensed authority also called as Certification Authority (CA) that has been granted the license to issue digital signature certificates by the Government of India can issue digital signature certificate under the Information Technology Act 2000. You should pay a specified fee and submit certain documents for obtaining DSC from CA. The e-KYC documents will fetch your DSC on the same day from CA. The documents are:Self-attested PAN card as identity proof.Voter ID card or driving license or passport or latest utility bill as address proof.The Necessity of Digital Signature CertificatesFor e-filing of the income tax returns by any individual, the Government of India has made it mandatory to affix digital signatures to the income tax returns documents. For affixing the digital signature one must have digital signature certificates issued by licensed certification authority.In addition, Ministry of Corporate Affairs has set the mandatory guidelines for the companies directing them to file all reports, applications and forms using a digital signature only and this again requires a digital signature certificate.For GST also a company must verify its GST application by affixing a digital signature using digital signature certificate in order to get registered for GST.These days many Government procedures, filling different applications, amendments and forms require digital signatures made by using digital signature certificates.Benefits of Digital Signature CertificatesSaves Money & Time: As there is no need of physical presence you can digitally sign your PDF files and other documents using DSC anywhere & anytime. You need not sign your paper documents and then scan them to send them across through internet if you follow the above given option. You can save the money which would otherwise be spent on printing and scanning the document. You can also go green by saving paper.Secured Data: The digitally signed documents are tamper proof as the digital signatures are secured with a private key and public key and they cannot be edited after digitally signing the document.Authentic: Digitally signed documents are authentic and the receiver can be completely sure about the sender’s identity and integrity. The receiver can easily execute the information in the document without worrying about the document being forged.What is the Validity of Digital Signature Certificates?The digital signature certificates in India issued by licensed signNowing authority approved by Ministry of Information & Technology are valid in India as per the ‘Information Technology Act 2000’. The DSC’s come with an explicit starting date & explicit expiration date. Usually the expiration time for standard digital signature certificates issued by CA will be from 1 year to 2 years. The digital signature certificates are managed by Certificate Revocation List (CRL) based on expiration date. An Indian national can have two DSC’s, one for his personal identification and another one for official identification.Check Here : Digital Signature Certificate Price

Building trust with technology isn’t quite as easy as falling backward into someone’s arms. Unless you have a technical background, cybersecurity can be difficult to grasp.Most people are comfortable with ink signatures, but it’s a common misconception that just because a document has been signed with ink, it’s safe, secure and valid. In fact, without physically meeting and talking with the signer.For example, if you’ve never seen the signer’s signature before, how do you know it is actually their signature? If you know what the signature is supposed to look like, how do you know the one in front of you wasn't forged? And if the signature is on the last page of a multi-page document, how do you know that something in the preceding pages was not altered after the document was signed?The reality of e-signatures – especially independent e-signatures, in which the evidence of their validity is embedded in the signed document – is that they are more trustworthy than traditional ink signatures.Offer Transparency and ControlIn the same way, building trust means providing all the facts. If signers have access to the entire signing process from a comprehensive audit trail, they’re able to keep close watch over their transaction and its process from identity authentication to opening and reviewing documents to signing.Use Trusted TechnologyPeople trust those who are trustworthy. Companies that use e-signature technology that goes above and beyond security requirements will naturally win over the trust.Educate DownstreamNo matter how many thousands of dollars e-signatures will save your company, for an e-signature solution to be successful at every level, you must educate everyone involved in the importance your e-signature provider places on security and independence.

Conga composer (though the permissioner is also awesome) is my #1.  Its ostensibly a document merge and generation tool but is more like a swiss army knife - it can do so many awesome things.  Some other ones to consider:E-signature: if you're sending documents for paper signatures, you should look hard at e-sig.  Its not cheap, but its such a huge timesaver.Form Assembly: powerful, easy to use, and awesome.  So many uses beyond collecting webforms, such as a great replacement for the rather limited "stay in touch" functionality.Geopointe - I cant recall the pricing, but integrating m...

Email is absolutely awesome. I LOVE email.We constantly hear people complaining that email is terrible. People keep saying that we need to invent something new.Email is the best means of communication that ever existed. And while email can be massively improved, it will remain the best communication means for many, many years.Asynchronous communication is really, really importantEmail is beautiful because it is asynchronous. When you get an email, it is not assumed you will respond that second. You can take a day, think about the message, and respond thoughtfully. Sometimes it is just used to convey information and you do not need to respond at all.Synchronous written communication (like SMS, chat, etc.) have their place and can be really important when real-time is a priority … but most things do not need to be real time.Email is openAnyone using any system can email anyone else. You use Google Apps and I use Microsoft Exchange? We can still communicate. The soldier using Military email can communicate with her grandmother using AOL.You can take your history with you. You can forward your messages to a new system. Don’t like using Gmail? No problem, you can forward your old gmail address email to the new one you like.Messages go through a common protocol.Most of the “new” cool systems are closed. They are not portable. They lock you in. They don’t actually have your best interest at heart.Email has a long history that you can searchThe older you are, the more useful this is. You can figure out when you met that cool person twelve years ago. You can read old communications. You can easily search. And, because it is open, you can take your history with you (though admittedly this is more difficult than it needs to be).Many “new” modes of communication are just emailSMS: synchronous email with threads. (Gmail is asynchronous email with threads)Facebook messaging: email with nice graphics.Slack: email that only works for internal communication.WeChat: synchronous email for people that live in China.Is email perfect? Of course notEmail still could be much better. Even gmail can sometimes be really, really slow. Searches can be awkward. Many great advances and email apps just slow things down or cause bugs.And, of course, the company-wide reply-all is a crazy time suck for everyone.And many people send too many emails. And many people write emails that are WAY too long. And sometimes people write emails when a quick phone or in-person meeting would be better.Email can also break down with big groups trying collaborate together.Email also needs to be much more secure.Like all good things, email can be abused.Email is alive, well, and flourishingYes, there are some high school students that don’t use email … but they use something that is just amore synchronous version of email. In fact, most ppl communicate most with either email or something that looks very much like email. Email makes the world go round. It is the easiest way to communicate with most people. It is the best way to invite someone to a function. It is the common communication language of our era. And like other common communication languages of our era (like the QWERTY keyboard and English), there are structural problems that we wish we could change. But I say, LONG LIVE EMAIL!

Currently the FTC does not recognize digital signatures as a valid method of verifiable parental identity.  There is discussion of the reasons for this in the FTC's Jan 17,2013 NPRM (Federal Register Vol 78 Nr 12, Page 3988), culminating in this statement.. " For instance, the Commission believes that simple digital signatures, which only entail the use of a finger or stylus to complete a consent form, provide too easy a means for children to bypass a site or service’s parental consent process, and thus do not meet the statutory standard of ‘‘reasonably calculated, in light of available technology, to ensure that the person providing consent is the child’s parent.’’Ironically, it is perfectly acceptable to the FTC for anyone to sign a piece of paper and fax or scan and email the paper form to verify parental identity.On Oct 1, 2014, AgeCheq proposed a new digital signature-based method for VPI that we think exceeds the statutory standard. We expect the FTC to respond to this proposal within the 120 day period, which would be Feb 1, 2015.  The proposed method uses an authorization code that is sent to a parental cell phone by text or automated voice to validate the fact that the person signing the parental appoval screen is in control of a valid cell phone at the time of the signing. If approved, this would be the first COPPA verifiable parental consent method that actually uses mobile technology to help protect the privacy that mobile games and apps are capturing. The only other method the FTC has approved is Imperium's knowledge-based method.

You can apply for pan card online through Aadhar based ekyc without sending documents to NSDLThe Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), in a circular dated 22 July 2016, has said that a new permanent account number (PAN) card can be applied for online, using an application form that can be e-signed using the Aadhaar linked e-signature. For individual PAN applicants, the entire process is managed by PAN service providers: National Securities Depository Ltd (NSDL) and UTI Infrastructure Technology and Services Ltd (UTIITSL).According to the board, “introduction of Aadhaar based e-signature in PAN application not only ensures paperless hassle-free PAN application process, but also seeding of Aadhaar in PAN, which will curb the problem of duplicate PAN to a great extent.” Here is why having a PAN is a must, and how to get it online.THE NEED FOR A PANIn its endeavor to check black money transactions, government has expanded the list of transactions (and decreased the limit on many existing ones) for which a PAN is mandatory. Effective 1 January 2016, PAN has to be quoted for all transactions above Rs.2 lakh. This applies to sale and purchase of all goods and services, regardless of the mode of payment.PAN is now used for almost all the financial-sector transactions like investing in mutual funds and shares. The government has also made it mandatory for various other things like the purchase of cash cards and prepaid cards amounting to Rs.50,000 or more in year. For purchasing gold jewellery above Rs.2 lakh too, you need to furnish PAN details. Earlier you had to furnish PAN details only if the gold purchase was above Rs.5 lakh.This move will also help the government to widen the tax base, which will result in higher tax collection.ONLINE PAN APPLICATIONAlong with making PAN mandatory for many more transactions, the government has also made it easy to get one by enabling the online application process. These online application can be made either through the portal of NSDL (http://tin.tin.nsdl.com/pan/index.html) or the portal of UTIITSL (http://www.myutiitsl.com/PANONLINE/).Last September a digital signature certificate-based PAN application form (Form 49A) for individuals was enabled on these websites. Now, the application form has also been enabled with the Aadhaar based e-signature. Aadhaar can also be used as a proof of identity, address and date of birth, which are required to get a PAN. After filling up the online application form, an individual has to upload the scanned image of her photograph and the Aadhaar card, as per the specifications on the website.The application fee is Rs.107, including service tax, for persons residing in India and Rs.994 for those with overseas addresses. It can be paid through credit cards, debit cards or Net banking. All these forms of payment attract a small charge, above the fee payable.At present, the facility for dispatch of PAN cards outside India is available for a select list of countries. Applicants from other countries may contact the service provider before applying.For video guidance click on the link below[Pan Card eKYC] How to make pan card with aadhar ekyc HindiTo know more you can subscribe to my YouTube channelYogendra Vishwakarma

Sometimes we really don’t understand what we mean under “best”, even this question doesn’t elaborate what the best service means? Which criteria the author believes the service fits the best? price?best design? Reliability?Let’s better talk about “suitable” for this moment and current needs.As the previous answers mentioned, do you need the service to be available on all major platforms or a signature that will stand up in court?Do you need a free simple solution, a feature-rich service that charges on the amount of signatures/documents signed or on monthly basis?Do you need to work with your documents on the go with low or no internet connection (while travelling, in the airport or plane)?And you can ask yourself with tons of such questions to create a matrix of features-service to choose the one you need. Or you can use 3rd party platforms like Alternativeto to initially select the provider you are interested in.When we conducted a closed beta testing for signNow recently, one of the goals was to understand the main criterias SMB owners from US use to choose a solution or switch to another one.We interviewed more than 230 businesses and what’s interesting, while the top factor goes to Security&data privacy, price or for example, digital signature availability is not in Top-3 of choices. Speed of an app/solution and multiplatform availability (works in web browser as well as on Mac, iPhone/iPad, Android and Windows devices) are what values higher.So, if there is a need to sign/send documents on Mac, iphone/ipad, android, windows and web browser and to work with documents offline, signNow is alternative to go with. We are still in beta, implementing some major requests from our beta users, but will be launching this September.And, signNow is free while in beta.
