Signing |
| |

| |
|
| |
Wizard asks the users to select a file of any format to sign and then select the location of the certificate (digital certificate) to sign that file. As required by law in many countries, prior to actual signing of a document, the user is presented with a signing confirmation indicating that signing is about to take place and that it may have legal significance. The user's acceptance to this confirmation represents an understanding and consent of the electronic signing. |
