A Digital Signature Certificate is used by professionals, CAs, business owners, directors, and individuals to verify and authenticate the identity of individuals and organisations by signing digital documents online to enable government filing and transactions online.
A Digital Signature is an equivalent form of a handwritten signature. The certificate ensures the data integrity and non-repudiation of documents after signing, and also speeds up the process of online translation across government portals. This is recognised by the law of the Information Technology Act, 2000.
