    However, I really do not see how such an electronic signature can have any practical value. Anybody with a copy of the document "signed" by me can take my signature from the file and use it however they want. The only real signature is a digital signature which uses cryptographic algorithms to verify the identity of the signer and the integrity of the document.

      Of course you can use this method to counterfeit documents or steal an identity.
      There is nothing to prevent that from happening, that's why usually the person, who accepts an electronic signature takes the risk of being played.
      (Most firms try to get an ID or simular to verify yourself - faking this would be most likely a crime).

    • @Dennis30121
      @Dennis30121 4 роки тому +2

      It is typically very difficult to replicate a digital signature if done correctly as the user will need the corresponding 'private key' that was created by the algorithm when the signature was originally created. The user will require both a 'Private key' and 'Public key' in order to replicate it, which only the original signatory would have since the algorithm only shares the 'Public Key' with the document.
      If the signature is however drawn scanned copied and pasted onto a document then it can be misused, that is why the signature needs to be made via acrobat reader or similar software legitimately.
