About Digital Signatures
A common approach for signing legal agreements and contracts is to apply a digital signature to a
document. A digital signature is used to authenticate or certify a document. A digital signature can
include a visible ink signature, but usually does not require one.
In many cases, certifying a document is legally binding, although some organizations do not accept
digitally-certified signatures. Digitally signing a document usually requires third-party software to set up
private and public keys for the signer of the document and a certification process for the document
being signed. Several companies provide digital certification services, tools, and plug-ins for this
purpose.
Digital certification is a complex topic and beyond the scope of this guide. For more information about
digitally signing documents, search the Microsoft Office and Adobe Acrobat Help for "digital
signatures".
