Facts and Myths about E-Signatures

Facts

Legal Effect and Acceptability: E-signatures have legal effect and are accepted in most countries. In the European Union, for example, the eIDAS regulation ensures that electronic signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures. The aim of the eIDAS regulation is to provide a unified framework for the use of electronic signatures within the EU, thus facilitating cross-border digital administration.

Security: Digital signatures, which use cryptographic methods, are extremely secure. These signatures use encryption and certificates to ensure the identity of the signer and the integrity of the signed document. The use of digital signatures significantly reduces the risk of forgery and manipulation.

Different Types: There are several types of e-signatures, including simple electronic signatures, advanced electronic signatures, and qualified electronic signatures. Qualified electronic signatures offer the highest level of security and legal recognition. These signatures comply with the strictest standards and regulations, making them widely accepted. NETLOCK offers a variety of e-signature solutions tailored to your needs.

 

Myths

All E-Signatures are Equivalent: Not all e-signatures have the same legal force. Simple electronic signatures (such as a typed name or an inserted image of a signature) are not always sufficient for legal documents. Advanced and qualified electronic signatures are much more reliable and widely accepted. If you need to authenticate important legal documents, we recommend our qualified e-signature services.

E-Signatures are Not Secure: Many people believe that e-signatures can be easily forged or manipulated. In reality, digital signatures use cryptographic technologies that are extremely secure and difficult to forge. When using digital signatures, the identity of the signer and the integrity of the signed document are ensured by high-level encryption and certificates.

Using E-Signatures is Complicated: While the introduction of e-signatures can initially be challenging, modern technological solutions and user-friendly applications significantly simplify their use. Our solutions include integrated e-signature options that are easy to use. The use of e-signatures is becoming increasingly common in everyday life and the business world alike. By using them, you can save time and money.

Summary

The spread and acceptance of e-signatures are continuously increasing, and they are becoming fundamental in digital administration in more and more countries. E-signatures are secure, legally recognized, and increasingly easy to use, so it is worth getting to know and applying them in everyday life and business alike. The different types of e-signatures and the related legal regulations ensure that everyone can find the most suitable solution for their needs, whether it is simple administration or serious legal documents.

Dispelling myths about e-signatures and understanding the facts can help us confidently use these modern technological solutions and take advantage of their benefits. Sign electronically anywhere in the world, anytime with the help of NETLOCK!
