Using digital signatures

A digital signature is an electronic signature.

You can a digital signature for these purposes:

  • To authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signer of a document.
  • To ensure that the original content of the message or document that is sent is unchanged.

Digital signatures are transportable, cannot be imitated by someone else, and can be automatically time-stamped. A digital signature can be used with any kind of message, whether it is encrypted or plain text.

See "Digital signatures" in the Infor Enterprise Server Administration Guide.
