By electronic techniques mentioned in second schedule It included digital signature also.
- 4. Reliable Electronic signature Section 3 A (2) (a to e) specifically mentions what are reliable electronic signature If the signatures are linked to the signatory or authenticator, they are considered reliable. If the signatures are under the control of the signatory at the time of signing. Any alteration to such a signature must be detectable after fixation or alteration. The alteration done to any information which is authenticated by the signature must be detectable. It must also fulfill any other conditions as specified by the Central Government.
- 5. COMPARISON Digital Signature Electronic signature A digital signature relies on public key infrastructure which authenticates the electronic signature An electronic signature is simply a legally valid electronic replacement of a handwritten signature. Digital signatures carry a user's information along with electronic signatures. Electronic signatures do not contain any authentication attached to them. A digital signature secures a document. An electronic signature verifies the document. Digital signatures are validated by licensed certifying authorities such as eMudhra. Electronic signatures are not validated by licensed certifying authorities. Digital signatures come with encryption standards. Electronic signatures do not come with encryption standards. A digital signature consists of various security features and is less prone to tampering. An electronic signature is less secure and is more vulnerable to tampering. A digital signature acts as an electronic fingerprint that consists of a person's identification. An electronic signature can be a file, image, or symbol attached to a document to give consent for a signature. A digital signature is created via cryptographic algorithms. An electronic signature offers lower security and no cryptographic algorithms are used in creating a simple electronic signature. A digital signature is authenticated using a digital signature certificate. An electronic signature is authenticated using a phone number, SMS, etc.
- 6. COMPARISON An electronic signature includes a digital signature. This means electronic signature has a broader meaning to include digital signature as well. Both are used to authenticate an electronic record. The burden is always on the subscriber to prove that the signature does not belong to him (in the case of conflict). Presumption is that the signature is genuine unless and until the contrary is proved.
- 7. Benefits of Digital signature Confidentiality Paperless – reduce environmental impact compared to paper back documents. Higher security for the responsible people who are vigilant in using it. Legal compliance – IT Act and the Companies Act demands for Digital signature. (legal validity). Time Saving – Faster application Cost saving Easy application of the digital signature. Presumption of authentic electronic record. Efficiency in business Minimising the white collar crime like fraud. Trustworthiness for the customers – provide a reasonable solution for cyber security issues.
- 8. Draw backs of digital signature Pair key can be stolen. Should have gadgets, software and other technology to use it. Limited to the technology and not scope to adapt to the technological advancement in the future. Complex process Less acceptances from the public. Prone to cyber attack.
- 9. Purpose of signature Electronic signature – intends to inform who signed the e content, the procedure to place the signature and the related relevant information to be passed including the contract agreed. Digital Signature – secure the content of the document and protect sensitive data. Provide a secrecy to the document transferred through the cyber platform
- 10. e - filing The government and its agencies demand for the electronic record to be signed through a procedure specifically mentioned by them. Section 3 of the IT Act 2000. Used for the purpose of licenses, permit and approval from the government agencies. Used for the tax purposes filings Used for the payment and receipt in the electronic form. For the e contracts.
