A digital signature is an electronic method of signing an electronic document, such as a PDF or Word file, that ensures the authenticity, integrity, and non-repudiation of the document. It verifies the identity of the signer and confirms that the document has not been altered since it was signed. It does not identify the certifying authority issuing it, nor is it used as a proof of identity to access information or server on the Internet.
