2. Electronic signature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_signature

   An electronic signature, or e-signature, is data that is logically associated with other data and which is used by the signatory to sign the associated data. [1] [2] [3] This type of signature has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature as long as it adheres to the requirements of the specific regulation under which it was created (e.g., eIDAS in the European Union, NIST-DSS in the ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

   A file signature is data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or magic bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible. However, some file signatures can be recognizable when ...

4. Digital signature - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature

   Digital signatures cryptographically bind an electronic identity to an electronic document and the digital signature cannot be copied to another document. Paper contracts sometimes have the ink signature block on the last page, and the previous pages may be replaced after a signature is applied.

5. Self-signed certificate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-signed_certificate

   RFC 5280 defines self-signed certificates as "self-issued certificates where the digital signature may be verified by the public key bound into the certificate" [7] whereas a self-issued certificate is a certificate "in which the issuer and subject are the same entity". While in the strict sense the RFC makes this definition only for CA ...

6. PAdES - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAdES

   Availability of electronic signature techniques has already been a major stimulus to eBusiness and eGovernment. Digital signatures are a secure and legally binding means to implement electronic signatures through three cryptographic algorithms: [5] the key generating algorithm that randomly selects a private key and its corresponding public key

7. XAdES - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XAdES

   An electronic signature that has been created in compliance with eIDAS has the same legal value as a handwritten signature. [2] An electronic signature, technically implemented based on XAdES has the status of an advanced electronic signature. [4] This means that it is uniquely linked to the signatory; it is capable of identifying the signatory;
