An electronic signature (e-signature) is a digital method used to sign documents and confirm agreements online. It serves as a substitute for a handwritten signature and can be created by typing your name, drawing it, or uploading an image of your signature. E-signatures are legally recognized and commonly used to execute contracts, complete forms, and approve documents efficiently and securely.

No, they are different concepts.

An electronic signature is a broad term that refers to any electronic method used to indicate agreement, such as typing a name, drawing a signature, or clicking to accept terms.

A digital signature is a specialized form of electronic signature that relies on encryption technology and digital certificates. It validates the signer’s identity, ensures the document has not been altered, and provides non-repudiation. Digital signatures are typically required in highly regulated sectors such as healthcare, finance, and government.

Under eIDAS, electronic signatures are categorized into three levels, each providing a different degree of security and legal assurance:

• Simple Electronic Signatures (SES): Commonly used for routine agreements, such as accepting terms and conditions or signing basic forms.

• Advanced Electronic Signatures (AES): Include identity verification measures and mechanisms to detect document tampering.

• Qualified Electronic Signatures (QES): Offer the highest level of legal reliability, supported by qualified certificates and third-party validation, along with strong non-repudiation safeguards.
