Digital signatures are used to authenticate digital information — such as documents, PDFs, e-mail messages, and VBA macros — by using cryptography delivered through a GlobalSign Digital ID and SafeNet HSMs. Digital signatures help to establish the following assurances:

• Authenticity – the digital signature helps to assure that the signer (such as the document author or the email sender) is who he or she claims to be
• Integrity – the digital signature helps to assure that the content of the document or email has not been changed or tampered with since it was digitally signed
• Non-repudiation – the digital signature helps to prove to all parties the origin of the signed content. “Repudiation” refers to the act of a signer’s denying any association with the signed content
• Enables PDF security – including document integrity, authorship and time-stamping
• No plug-ins or extra software needed – Certified PDFs & Approval Signatures are automatically recognised by Adobe Acrobat and the free Adobe Reader
• Cost Effective – with a variety of purchase options, we have a solution to fit any budget.
