What is a Document Signing Certificate?
A Document Signing Certificate is an electronic file issued by a Certificate Authority (CA). It contains a pair of secure digital key for assuring signer’s identity authentication and integrity of electronically transmitted documents.
How do digital signatures work?
Digital signatures, like handwritten signatures, are unique to each signer. It uses public key infrastructure (PKI), which is considered the gold standard for digital identity authentication and encryption. PKI relies on the use of two related keys, a public key and a private key, that together create a key pair to encrypt and decrypt a message using strong public key cryptography algorithms. Using both public and private keys that are generated to provide the signer with their own digital identity, a digital signature is generated and encrypted using that signer’s private key, and also a timestamp of when the document was signed using the key. These keys are normally saved in a secure manner; for example, Sectigo and DigiCert sends USB with your certificate and keys to you.
