Explaining Digital Certificate and Signatures
I'm trying to understand what a digital certificate is and why I need it to sign a document. I know in the following instructions I can create my own digital certificate for free, but when and how do I use a digital certificate to sign something? What is a digital signature in comparison to taking a picture of my signature and pasting it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
