eSignatures
eSignatures, or electronic signatures, are digital representations of a person's intent to agree to the terms of a document. They can take various forms, such as typed names, scanned signatures, or clicks on consent buttons. Legally recognized in many countries, eSignatures streamline signing processes, allowing people to sign contracts and agreements online, often in real-time. They enhance efficiency, reduce paper use, and improve security through encryption and authentication methods. As long as the parties involved consent and the process meets legal requirements, eSignatures are considered valid and enforceable, just like traditional handwritten signatures.
