How to Apply digital signature certificate

Class III DSC for Signing & Encryption

A digital signature is an electronic form of a signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document, and also ensure that the original content of the message or document that has been sent is unchanged.

Digital signatures are easily transportable and cannot be imitated by someone else. The ability to ensure that the original signed message arrived means that the sender cannot easily disclaim it later. 

What is the Difference between Digital Signature and Digital Signature Certificate?

Ans: A digital signature is an electronic method of signing an electronic document whereas a Digital Signature Certificate is a computer based record that:

  • Identifies the Certifying Authority issuing it.
  • Has the name and other details that can identify the subscriber.
  • Contains the subscriber’s public key.
  • Is digitally signed by the Certifying Authority issuing it.
  • Is valid for either one year or two years

We at eTaxFinance will help you to procure digital signature from various authorised CA’s and deliver you across India.
