Benefits of the digital signature
The digital signature presents the following advantages
> Certification of the signature's date
> Verification of the signer's identity
> Greater security since digital signature is virtually impossible to falsify
> Legal recognition of the signature, saving time and money in notary services
> Easier and faster to send documents, by using e-mail or online repositories instead of physical mail
> Greater accessibility in confirming the authenticity and integrity of a document, by simply consulting the certification entity or using the public key provided with a signed document
None of the above can be infallibly
verified with a usual hand signature.
