1.电子签名:
电子签名是湿链接签名的数字形式,具有法律约束力和安全性,但不包含任何编码或标准。它可以是消息或文档上附加的符号,图像,过程,以识别身份并表示同意。当我们只需要验证文档时,我们使用电子签名。电子签名的验证不是由任何受信任的证书颁发机构或信任服务提供者执行的,因此通常不被授权。电子签名比数字签名易于使用,但与数字签名相比,它的安全性和可靠性较低。
2.数字签名:
数字签名是一种安全签名,可以与电子签名一起使用,并依赖于公钥基础结构,意味着它带有加密标准。它可以可视化为加密和识别一个人身份的电子指纹。当我们需要保护文档安全时,我们使用数字签名。数字签名的验证是由受信任的证书颁发机构或受信任的服务提供者执行的,因此通常会得到授权。数字签名优于电子签名,因为它比电子签名更安全,更可靠。
