An electronic seal is de facto similar to a company stamp printed on a paper document. It binds the document to a specific organisation. What is the difference between an electronic seal and an electronic signature? Similar to the difference between a corporate seal and a handwritten signature.
Electronic seal = Confirmation of authorship of a document - An electronic seal only confirms the authorship of an electronic document. An electronic seal is not the manifestation of any will, legal action by anyone.
Electronic Signature = Electronic Legal Action - With an electronic signature, the signatories are affirming their will, legally acting.
Signi standardly inserts the seal of Digital Factory Ltd, the operator of Signi.com, into the documents it signs. Control authorities, law enforcement agencies, etc. can therefore easily identify the real creator of the signed document from the PDF file and contact him for further information.
Optionally, if customers want , it is possible to insert their e-seal. Just be careful that the validity of the seal is limited in time and needs to be updated continuously.
