Digital Signature Certificate: An Overview

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a cryptographically secure key issued by certifying authorities (CAs) to validate and verify the identity of the person who holds this certificate. DSCs are predominantly issued and utilized when businesses need to digitally sign documents online, securely authenticate the Signature, and validate the signed copy.

DSC is a statutory requirement for submitting various forms to the Government of India. DSC uses public-key encryption for the creation of a signature.
