What is the digital signature it

A digital signature is a secure and legally recognized way to sign documents electronically. It uses cryptographic techniques to ensure that the signature is unique to the signer and that the document has not been altered after signing. Digital signatures provide a high level of security and are often used in various business transactions, contracts, and agreements. In the United States, digital signatures are governed by the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), which validate the use of electronic signatures in legal contexts.

Businesses can confidently use digital signatures for contracts, agreements, and other legal documents, knowing they hold the same legal weight as traditional handwritten signatures.
