Digital signatures are similar to physical signatures in the sense that both are unique to the signer, except that in the case of digitally signed documents, a digital signature offers far more security and the assurance of the document’s origin, identity, and integrity. Based on the highest standard of security, digital signatures are legally binding in the United States and many other countries.
