Electronic Signature vs Digital Signature

When it comes to signing documents online, the terms "electronic signature" and "digital signature" are often used interchangeably. However, there are key differences between the two that are important to understand.

An electronic signature is a broad term that refers to any form of signature that is applied electronically, such as a scanned image of a handwritten signature, a typed name, or a click of a button. Electronic signatures are commonly used for everyday tasks like signing contracts, agreements, and forms.

On the other hand, a digital signature is a specific type of electronic signature that uses encryption technology to verify the authenticity of a document and the identity of the signer. Digital signatures are typically more secure than traditional electronic signatures, as they are harder to forge and offer greater protection against fraud.

In summary, while both electronic signatures and digital signatures can be used to sign documents online, digital signatures offer a higher level of security and authentication. If you want to ensure the integrity and authenticity of your signed documents, consider using a digital signature solution like airSlate SignNow.
