Digital Signatures
Another article for AcrobatUsers.com… this time, it’s digital signatures under the microscope. Digital signatures are one of those ideas that seem so obvious and good… but almost no-one has ever used one, or could tell you the real difference between a digital signature, certificate, login or PIN number if they sat on it.
This article is intended to at least help begin the demystification process. It may also be a high-grade soporific, but I can’t help that… it’s not my fault that the subject is so LOADED with jargonalia.
The point - as you’ll soon see, if you make it all the way to the end - is that while the infrastructure may be there to enable digital signatures, there remains a LOT of work to be done on the implementation side - not to mention learning how to communicate with the user!
