Electronic signatures and digital signatures are quite different, though their similar names would suggest otherwise.
A digital signature is encrypted security technology that protects data and retains the identity of the signer. It's like a barcode to establish the authenticity of information.
Electronic signatures, however, consist of “an electronic sound, symbol, or process attached to, or associated with, a contract or other record and used as the legal equivalent of a written signature”, according to U.S. Federal ESIGN Law.
So the former is more machine-based, while the latter is basically capturing the electronic validation that, not too long ago, only a human's handwritten signature would provide.
iSign is a great tool to handle the high efficiency of electronic signatures.
iSign makes it possible to digitally capture signatures from any mobile device loaded with a Java-enabled Web browser. You can then apply these electronic signatures to any business document.
Also, iSign allows users to upload these signed documents onto a third-party Document Management System or a document storage and retrieval product. With this sort of dynamic functionality, you can retrieve these files anytime, anywhere.
