What is a digital signature?

A Digital signature is a way to warrant any online data or document.

Authenticity of a document – A Digital Certificate

A Digital Certificate is, in a way, an ‘identity proof’ of the digital signature. There are two methods of getting a certificate.

1. Getting it from a certificate authority or Microsoft partner – If you plan to exchange digitally-signed documents together with other people, and you want the recipients of your documents to be able to verify the authenticity of your digital signature, you can buy a digital certificate from a reputable third-party certificate authority (CA) or from Office Marketplace.
2. Create your own certificate – If you do not want to purchase digital certificate from a Certificate Authority, you can create your own digital certificate.

NOTE – In this case if you share your digitally signed document with other people, they cannot verify the authenticity of the document without manually trusting the source.
