What is a digital signature?
It is a mechanism that can be applied to electronic documents, achieving the same effects as a handwritten signature on a paper document.

What technical guarantee does the digital signature offer?
It can detect any manipulation of the signed document and is mathematically associated with both the document and the signatory. Our electronic signature will be different when we sign different documents.

Camerfirma issues recognized electronic signatures, which, when used with a secure signature device, have the same value and recognition for legal purposes as a handwritten signature.
