Safely sign your invoices with digital signature in less than 3 minutes

Digital signatures, especially certified ones, are highly secure due to several technological features:

• Cryptography: They use public-key cryptography. A private key (known only to the signer) is used to create the signature, and a corresponding public key is used to verify it.
• Integrity: A digital signature creates a unique digital “fingerprint” (hash) of the document. If the document is altered in any way after signing, the signature will become invalid, making tampering evident.
• Authenticity: Certified digital signatures are linked to a verified digital identity of the signer, issued by a trusted PSrE/CA after a verification process. This provides strong evidence of who signed the document.
• Non-repudiation: The combination of verified identity and secure cryptography makes it very difficult for a signer to deny having signed the document.
• Audit Trails: Digital signing processes usually include a comprehensive audit trail that records all actions related to the signing event.
