Understanding Electronic and Digital Signatures

In today's digital age, signing documents electronically has become increasingly common, offering convenience, efficiency, and security. SigniFlow, a leading digital signature solution, provides users with two distinct types of signatures: Electronic Signatures and Digital Signatures. This article aims to elucidate the differences between the two and how they are implemented within the SigniFlow platform.

Electronic Signatures:

Electronic Signatures, as offered by SigniFlow, provide users with a fast and convenient way to sign documents. These signatures are ideal for situations where quick turnaround times and ease of use are paramount. For instance, basic contracts or internal approvals can benefit from the expediency of Electronic Signatures. Within SigniFlow, users have the flexibility to designate the signature type for each recipient when setting up a workflow.

Digital Signatures:

In contrast, SigniFlow's Digital Signatures are synonymous with heightened security and regulatory compliance. These signatures utilize encryption technology to ensure the integrity and authenticity of signed documents. By leveraging SigniFlow's trusted Digital Signature solution, users can rest assured that their documents meet the most stringent regulatory standards.

Understanding the Distinction:

It's essential for users to understand the distinction between Electronic and Digital Signatures when choosing the appropriate option for their specific needs. While Electronic Signatures offer speed and convenience, Digital Signatures prioritise security and compliance.
