What is the difference between electronic signature & digital signature?

Basically electronic signature is your handwritten signature but in case of digital signature, you click an image of that signature.

The main difference between the two is that digital signature is mainly used to secure documents and is authorized by certification authorities while electronic signature is often associated with a contract where the signer has got the intention to do so.

Digital signature is a form of digital signature, it is created by transforming a data message using an asymmetric cryptographic system whereby the person has the original data message and the public key of The signer can identify the exact data message. Digital signatures ensure content integrity by secret key and public key pairs. So it is very safe to use.

An electronic signature will be a digital signature if the signature uses some encryption method to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the data message. For example, a draft contract was written by the seller by email of the editor to the buyer after being signed (electronically).

Electronic signatures and digital signatures are often used interchangeably in conversations - but each serves a different purpose. What's the difference? An e-signature is a legal concept. A digital signature refers to the encryption technology used in security, e-business and e-commerce applications, including e-signatures. OneSpan Sign takes the best of both and offers an ELECTRONIC signature application that is built on DIGITAL signature security.

Certification Genie explained it the best. Many think they are identical, even though there are differences. :-)

Digital Signature:

A digital signature is a type of electronic signature that offers more security than a traditional electronic signature. When you sign a document with a digital signature, the signature links a “fingerprint” of the document to your identity. Then that information is permanently embedded into the document, and the document will show if someone comes in and tries to tamper with it after you’ve signed it.

"Digital signatures offer tamper evidence, independent verification and a strict adherence to standards, meaning our customers are not left having to rely on us being around simply to prove that signatures took place," said John Harris, Senior Vice President of Product Management at SIGNiX. "And we back that up with a highly detailed audit trail that goes far above and beyond what a majority of the market feels is sufficient."

Because that information is embedded in the document, you don’t need to check back with the vendor if you want to verify that the signature is still secure. That’s a big benefit if you don’t want to be tied down to one vendor over the life of your documents.

On top of that, more countries around the world accept digital signatures because they comply with international standards for security.

Electronic Signatures:
Electronic signatures are popular because they are easy to use. Customers can sign documents online with a click of the mouse or by using their fingers to trace a handwritten signature onto a document.

The downfall of electronic signatures is that they aren’t regulated like digital signatures are. It’s up to each vendor to make their own standards, and you have to take their word for it when they say their signatures are secure.

In fact, electronic signatures don’t have the secure coding that digital signatures have. That technology is what links the signature to the signer’s identity and to the time the document was signed. Essentially, electronic signatures are an image placed on the document, but they can’t show if someone tampers with the document after it is signed.

Another drawback of electronic signatures is the fact that many vendors require you to check back with them if you’d like to know if your document has been tampered with. That means if you decide to change to a different vendor, you could lose those signatures that are stored on the vendor’s server.
