Secure, Legal and Free Electronic Signatures

An electronic signature is a digital signature used to indicate the signatory's agreement to the contents of an electronic document. It is a legal way to sign documents without the need for physical signatures, paper documents, or in-person meetings. An electronic signature can take many forms, such as a scanned image of a handwritten signature, a signature created using a stylus or finger on a touchscreen device, or even a digital representation of a person's signature created using specialized software.

Electronic signatures (e-Signatures) are widely used in business and legal contexts, including contracts, agreements, and other important documents. e-Signatures are generally considered to be legally binding and enforceable, as long as they meet certain requirements for authentication, security, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

The US Federal ESIGN Act defines eSignatures as "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record."
