ssued only by a Certified Authority, a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a digital key that authorizes the identity of businesses and individuals holding the certificate. To get the DSC, there is a necessity to submit a duly-filled digital signature form. The digital signature certificate comprises information such as the name of the user, email address, country, the date on which the certificate was issued and the name of the certifying authority's name. The authorization of the digital key takes place to assure the security and authenticity of documents filed online.

Due to the increase in the loss of important data, it has become a necessity to secure any data shared online and this lays emphasis on the use of Digital Signatures. The ability to authenticate a file, document or software has brought Digital Signatures into the limelight.
Paperwork replaced with Digital Signatures brings in a lot of benefits such as speed up document delivery, lessens operating costs and saves time & efforts.
