B Signatures, Identity and Document Security in the Digital Environment Mike Eyal As working online becomes the new normal, customers will expect to do business with you online. Those who don t make the change will be the break in the digital chain. Transition workarounds like print, post, sign and scan to capture signatures are insecure and cost you time and money. Your clients will want to complete paperwork online and sign securely in electronic format. Using Digital Signature technology, electronic documents can be signed securely with objective validation of document integrity and signatory s identity. Digital signatures cannot be forged or copied and any change to the document will invalidate the signature.
