Electronic Signatures vs. Digital Signatures: In the realm of electronic signatures, it is important to understand the distinction between electronic signatures and digital signatures. While these terms may seem interchangeable to the layperson, they possess distinct meanings within the industry. Electronic signatures serve as digital representations of handwritten signatures, capturing the signer's consent and agreement to the document's terms. On the other hand, digital signatures refer to the encryption and decryption technology employed in e-signature solutions, ensuring the security and integrity of each signature.
