Quadrant Knowledge Solutions defines the electronic signature (eSignature) as a legally recognized alternative to the physical signature. An eSignature software is a tool used to sign documents electronically. This software ensures authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of digital documents, including emails, Word documents, and Portable Document Formats (PDFs).
Electronic signatures are widely used today to sign documents remotely and are often considered the most secure method of signing documents. In cases where the legitimacy of a signed document is disputed, a handwritten signature offers no advantage over robust electronic signatures. When using eSignature software, the signature is captured and logged using a timestamp. A complete and fully automated history of all activities is stored and linked to the document. All collected data is then encrypted to prevent it from being tampered with. The sender of a document could simply write the name, draw the signature, or upload a physical copy, and the recipient could instantly verify its authenticity using cryptographic techniques.
