Hope everyone has much to be thankful for in their lives.

How would you prevent someone copying and using your signature?

[@plankmax8748]

Iejeinrnonoqiqjr

[@VSP4591]

Only if you save as PDF and later on save the PDF as encrypted file without possibility to activate COPY command. Even so if somebody would print the document he may scan your signature. In our days nothing is 100% safe.

[@Joker-Leto]

you can password protect the document by adding document restriction , can't copy, cant print or can't edit just read only

[@mfaisal20]

When document is displayed on screen, even if you have copy command restricted in pdf, your signature can be screen clipped and pasted else where.

Is this secure ? could someone download my signature and mis use it

[@christophb9684]

I think that's a really good point. Could please someone with experience comment on that. Thx

[@ChibiCuna]

Of course you can use this method to counterfeit documents or steal an identity. There is nothing to prevent that from happening, that's why usually the person, who accepts an electronic signature takes the risk of being played. (Most firms try to get an ID or simular to verify yourself - faking this would be most likely a crime).

[@Dennis30121]

It is typically very difficult to replicate a digital signature if done correctly as the user will need the corresponding 'private key' that was created by the algorithm when the signature was originally created. The user will require both a 'Private key' and 'Public key' in order to replicate it, which only the original signatory would have since the algorithm only shares the 'Public Key' with the document. If the signature is however drawn scanned copied and pasted onto a document then it can be misused, that is why the signature needs to be made via acrobat reader or similar software legitimately. More info here > www.viafirma.com/blog-xnoccio/en/digital-signatures-forged/#:~:text=A%20signing%20algorithm%20that%2C%20given,access%20to%20the%20private%20key).

[@slaki1706]

Great tutorial as always. I recently had to do this and did it in a more complicated way. :) However, I really do not see how such an electronic signature can have any practical value. Anybody with a copy of the document "signed" by me can take my signature from the file and use it however they want. The only real signature is a digital signature which uses cryptographic algorithms to verify the identity of the signer and the integrity of the document.

[@sungleong]

most modern document/contracts have a clause stating an image of your signature is acceptable. if not, you probably have to print it out, sign it, then scan it back to the computer

[@deepaknamdeothorat731]

@@sungleong I think you misunderstood the point Slaki is making- that someone may copy and misuse his electronic signature..!!

[@OberynTheRedViper]

@@deepaknamdeothorat731 that’s not how it works. There are audit trails that capture things such as up address, geo, etc. there’s also security measures that can be employed such as MFA

What prevents someone from saving the signature graphic from the PDF? It seems that the digital signature is much more secure.

[@ryderhook7068]

Nobody can prevent this. But when you send a real paper with your signature also everybody can scan this document, crop the signature and position it under a new document.

[@sunita3549]

@@ryderhook7068 yes, but the probability is less, less people having access to it, here it's going online. what are your views on this, do let know

[@ryderhook7068]

@@sunita3549, no, I don’t agree. In this video is only explained how to sign with a graphical signature. It’s not necessary to be connected with the internet during doing that. And what you do with the signed document lies in your own responsibility. You can also sent the signed document via an encrypted e-mail. This would be safe, depending on the trust level of the receiver.
