In today’s digital world, security and authenticity are
crucial when conducting online business transactions. A
digital signature serves as a virtual fingerprint for
documents, providing verification and ensuring that your
business operations comply with legal standards. It is an
essential tool for online filings, tax submissions, and
securing electronic documents. Whether you're a startup, SME,
or large corporation, obtaining a digital signature
certificate (DSC) ensures the security of your business
dealings.
A digital signature is an encrypted signature that
authenticates the identity of the signatory and ensures that
the document has not been altered during transmission. It
works based on Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), where a
private key encrypts the document, and a public key is used
for decryption, verifying the authenticity of the sender.
Digital signatures are legally recognized in India under the
Information Technology Act, 2000, and are vital for businesses
involved in online operations.
