electronic signatures

Electronic signatures, or e-signatures, are digital versions of a person's handwritten signature, used to sign documents electronically. They can take various forms, such as a typed name, a scanned image of a signature, or a signature created using a stylus on a touchscreen. E-signatures are legally recognized in many countries and are designed to confirm the signer's intent to agree to the document's terms. They offer a fast, convenient way to sign agreements without the need for physical paperwork, making transactions easier and more efficient. Legal frameworks ensure their security and authenticity, similar to traditional signatures.
