Digital signature


Adrian Spratt
 

I have no experience with digital signatures, but today I was asked to attach one to a document. I've looked up the subject online to find that applying the concept seems daunting. Any suggestions on digital signatures with JAWS?

For anyone interested, this blog page gives what seems like a good explanation of digital signatures and how to execute them in Office 2010:

hi sir:

I don't know if this will help, but when you do a legal signature, you just do /s/ and then type the name that is supposed to be signed

Correction. I'm looking for how to add an electronic signature, not a digital signature, with JAWS. I just discovered the two concepts are different.

Anyone have experience with this function?

I wish I did, but I have found it really difficult. It seems when I try I
have to size the signature and then make sure it is actually placed in the
right place - all visual as far as I can tell. So, I would also appreciate
any information on this.

What's the difference between a digital signature and an electronic
signature?

To me, they sound identical.

An electronic signature is a picture or graphic which you can insert into a document which shows up as your signature as if you signed the document.

A digital signature is a type of security in e-mail (like a certificate in Internet Explorer) which authenticates that the e-mail actually came from the address and person it is perported to come from.

Digital signatures require that you obtain some sort of certificate that validates you are who you say you are. See the link I provided in the first post to this thread. An electronic signature essentially involves a scanned image of your handwritten signature that is copied into a graphic file that you paste into the appropriate place in a document. See my subsequent post, as well as Diana's, explaining the method.

So, I learned something this week, for what it was worth. I see no point to the electronic signature because it was be so easy to fabricate. Meanwhile, the digital signature is too hard to generate to be much practical use in most situations.

Thanks for the clarifications, Adrian.

I think I have learned something too through this entire thread.
