Digital signatures offer a secure and convenient way to sign documents and confirm the signer’s identity electronically. With a digital signature, the signing process can be easily verified. They can be used to verify the integrity of the document, ensuring the contents of a message are not altered during the transmission.

  • In BoldSign, the final signed document containing all the signatures is digitally signed with an AATL-compliant certificate.
  • This serves as a seal for the document to prevent any tampering. If the document tampers in any way, then the Acrobat reader will detect it immediately and inform the user.
  • This could be very useful if a dispute arises about the signed content.
  • A digitally signed document will contain information about the digital certificate at the top of the document, which verifies the document’s integrity.
  • If the document is not altered, you can see the certificate like the one below.

  • If the document has been altered or tampered with, this information will indicate that the document’s integrity has been compromised.
