EASY-TO-USE, LEGALLY COMPLIANT DIGITAL DOCUMENT SIGNATURES
COMBINE THE POWER OF E-SIGNATURE AND IDENTIFY TO EASILY AND QUICKLY COMPLETE DIGITAL SIGNATURES
WHAT IS DOCUSIGN AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
DocuSign is a leading cloud-based platform that enables businesses and individuals to securely sign, send, and manage digital documents. It offers DocuSign Digital Document Signatures, which use encryption and certificate-based identity validation to ensure the authenticity and integrity of signed documents. Unlike simple electronic signatures (e.g., clicking “I accept”), digital signatures provide enhanced security through Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology.
How DocuSign Works:
- Upload the Document: Start by uploading your document to the DocuSign platform.
- Add Signature Fields: Place signature fields where recipients need to sign.
- Send for Signing: Share the document via email or a secure link.
- Sign and Verify: Recipients sign the document using their private key, and DocuSign verifies their identity through a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).
- Track and Manage: Monitor the document’s status in real-time and access a detailed audit trail for compliance.

Key Features of a Digital Signature in DocuSign:
1. Cryptographic Security: Digital signatures use a mathematical algorithm to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the signed document. If someone alters the document after it has been signed, the digital signature will be invalidated.
2. Identity Verification: To create a digital signature, the signer must possess a private key, which is used to generate the signature. The signer’s identity is verified through a trusted certificate authority (CA) to ensure they are who they say they are.
3. Non-repudiation: Once a digital signature is applied, the signer cannot deny having signed the document (non-repudiation), as it is tied to their unique digital certificate and the timestamp of the signature.
4. Compliance: Digital signatures in DocuSign comply with various global standards, including the ESIGN Act in the U.S. and eIDAS in the EU. This means they are legally binding in many jurisdictions.
5. Audit Trail: DocuSign provides an audit trail for every signed document, which records the date, time, and details of the signer’s actions, ensuring transparency and security.
6. Document Integrity: After a document is digitally signed, any changes made to the document (e.g., text edits) will break the digital signature, making it evident that the document has been tampered with.
Key Benefits of Using DocuSign Digital Signatures:
- Enhanced Security: The encryption methods used in digital signatures make them more secure than simple electronic signatures, ensuring the integrity of documents and preventing tampering.
- Legally Binding: In many countries, digital signatures are recognized by law as legally binding, making them suitable for contracts, agreements, and other important legal documents.
- Efficiency: DocuSign’s digital signature process reduces the time and effort needed for signing documents. There’s no need for printing, scanning, or faxing. Documents can be signed from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Document Tracking and Transparency: With DocuSign, you can track the status of a document in real-time. The audit trail ensures transparency and accountability for every step of the process.
- Cost Savings: By eliminating the need for paper, ink, and physical storage, digital signatures save time and money, and help organizations reduce their environmental footprint.
