What is the digital contract signature

A digital contract signature is an electronic method of signing documents that ensures authenticity and integrity. It uses cryptographic techniques to secure the signature and verify the identity of the signer. This type of signature is legally recognized in the United States under the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, making it a valid alternative to traditional handwritten signatures.

Using a digital contract signature involves several straightforward steps. First, upload the document you wish to sign to the airSlate SignNow platform.
