Digital Signature Certificate
Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) compliance is important for businesses to ensure the validity of their DSCs and to avoid disruptions in online transactions and statutory compliances.
The Information Technology Act, 2000 requires the use of digital signatures for electronically submitted documents to ensure their authenticity and security. DSCs are mandatory for some services, such as e-verification of returns filed by companies and political parties.
What is a Digital Signature Certificate ?
A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key that is issued by the Certifying Authorities (CA) for the purpose of validating and certifying the identity of the person holding this certificate. Digital Signatures make use of the public key encryptions to create the signatures.
A DSC contains information about the user’s name, pin code, country, email address, date of issuance of certificate and name of the certifying authority. The DSCs are usually valid for one to two years. However, they can be renewed before the expiry period.
Digital Signature Certificate Advantages
- Authentication: Helpful in authenticating the personal information details of the individual holder when conducting business online.
- Reduced cost and time: Instead of signing the hard copy documents physically and scanning them to send them via e-mail, you can digitally sign the PDF files and send them much more quickly. A DSC holder does not have to be physically present to conduct or authorize a business.
- Data integrity: Documents that are signed digitally cannot be altered or edited after signing, which makes the data safe and secure. Government agencies often ask for these certificates to cross-check and verify the business transaction.
- Authenticity of documents: Digitally signed documents give confidence to the receiver to be assured of the signer’s authenticity. They can take action on the basis of such documents without getting worried about the documents being forged.
