Use Dropbox Sign to create a digital signature

The term Digital signature refers to a complex method for authenticating a document, to verify that it hasn’t been tampered with during transit between sender and signer. It is separate from the term ‘electronic signature’. Dropbox Sign enables you to do both, at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

How do you create a digital signature?

Expand or collapse accordion

A digital signature is created when Dropbox Sign’s eSignature tool provides a one-way hash of the electronic data to be signed, a fixed-length string of letters and/or numbers generated by an algorithm. This encrypted hash is the digital signature.

What are the benefits of digital signatures?

Expand or collapse accordion

The main benefit of digital signatures is security. They ensure that a document cannot be altered without the recipient knowing about it, and that signatures are legitimate. The use of security features associated with Dropbox Sign digital signatures, such as PINs, passwords, asymmetric cryptography, audit trails and timestamps, ensures that documents sent and received for signature with Dropbox Sign are as secure as can be.

What are digital signatures used for?

Expand or collapse accordion

Digital signatures are used primarily to streamline processes, speed up the document-signing lifecycle and improve document integrity. Industries such as government, healthcare, financial services and cryptocurrency platforms all utilise digital signatures to enhance security of highly sensitive information.

‍What’s the difference between an electronic and digital signature?

Expand or collapse accordion

While most people use the terms interchangeably, there is a difference between the two. An electronic signature refers to a protected and legally binding online signature. A digital signature refers to a complicated method for authenticating a document.
