What is an electronic signature?

An electronic signature, or eSignature, as defined by the Federal ESIGN Act, is an "electronic sound, symbol or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record" (ESIGN). All 50 states have laws that define electronic signatures in substantially the same way.

How are electronic signatures better than handwritten "wet" signatures?

	WET	ELECTRONIC
COST	Paper processing, printing, filing, mailing and fax Overnight shipping costs extravagant	Paper-free processing Delivery over Internet eliminates shipping costs
TIME	Delivery of mail may take up to several weeks Missed form or lost paperwork creates further delays Often requires the presence of a notary	Mobile, anywhere, anytime access All fields must be filled before document can be signed, leading to less "no-good" documents
SECURITY	Tampering – Backdating, alterations, or forgery High possibility for human error in data entry or copying	Encryption and audit trail ensures documents are tamper-evident Unalterable capture of signing data; electronic storage

What is the difference between an "electronic signature" and a "digital signature?"

Electronic signatures, e-signatures, are a broad category of methods for signing a record or a document. A digital signature is a type of e-signature that uses a specific technical implementation. Digital signatures providers like DocuSign follow the PKI (Public Key Infrastructure) protocol.

Both digital signatures and other e-signature solutions enable you to sign documents and authenticate the signer. But, the purpose, technical implementation, geographical use, and legal and cultural acceptance of digital signatures versus e-signatures varies.
