Digital Signature Certificate (DSC): Empowering Secure Digital Transactions
The Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) stands as a pivotal tool in the realm of digital document signing and secure data storage. Trusted by numerous government departments and service sectors, DSC facilitates the seamless signing of electronic documents and forms. It ensures the integrity and confidentiality of exchanged data and supports various online transactions with robust cybersecurity measures.
At its core, a Digital Signature involves a mathematical algorithm that encrypts message hash values, akin to its physical paper-based counterpart. By digitally signing documents, DSC employs encryption-decryption mechanisms to safeguard sensitive data effectively.
Validity of Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
Digital Signature Certificates (DSC) are available for purchase with validity periods of 1, 2, or 3 years. The duration of validity is regulated by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA), the governing body overseeing these certificates. It’s important to note that DSCs cannot be purchased for periods shorter than 1 year or longer than 3 years.
