Did you know that e-signatures and digital signatures are not the same?
In short, digital signatures are a more secure and widely accepted category of e-signatures.
| ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE | DIGITAL SIGNATURE |
|---|---|
| Signatures, as images or stylized text, in an electronic format. | Electronic signatures with signer authentication, made tamper-proof using a digital signature certificate. |
| Legal compliance is subject to regional laws. | Widely compliant, but still subject to regional differences. |
| Signer authentication is optional, insecure, and repudiable. | Signer authentication is mandatory and cryptographic at the time of signing, and therefore non-repudiable. |
| Tamper-prone | Tamper-proof |
Forget security risks, document turnaround delays, scaling challenges, and human errors. Sign digitally for free with Zoho Sign.

FAQs
Is signing digitally safe?
Digital signatures are absolutely safe, and in fact, they're safer than wet ink signatures. Every digitally signed document contains a unique digital signature, akin to a fingerprint. Digital signatures are created using a cryptographic technique called public key infrastructure (PKI), which ensures that only the sender and signer can view the document's contents.
In addition to providing a digital signature certificate, Zoho Sign also provides an additional layer of security via signer authentication through SMS, email, regional IDs, and many other methods. Moreover, Zoho Sign is compliant with strict data privacy and security regulations, such as the GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA to name a few. These methods make digitally signing documents with Zoho Sign secure and tamper-proof.
Are e-signatures and digital signatures legally valid?
Electronic and digital signatures are legally valid and admissible in the court of law across most regions. Typically, they are considered legally on par with wet ink signatures. Learn more about the legality of electronic and digital signatures in your region.
