Electronic signatures and digital signatures are not the same. E-signatures mimic handwritten signatures and have the same legal standing since the E-Sign Act of 2000. Digital signatures, which are a type of e-signature, use public key cryptography to ensure document integrity. They provide evidence of origin, identity, and status of electronic documents. Digital signatures authenticate signers' identities and rely on multiple technologies for verification. They differ in trust, infrastructure, and use cases. E-signatures rely on trusting the signer, while digital signatures add layers of security and enable zero trust. Digital signatures have upfront costs but provide additional security for enterprises. E-signatures are simpler and more cost-effective for certain use cases.
