Electronic Signature and Digital Signature

Electronic Signature	Digital Signature
An electronic signature, or e-signature, refers to data in electronic form, which is logically associated with other data in electronic form and which is used by the signatory to sign.	A digital signature is a mathematical scheme for presenting the authenticity of digital messages or documents. A digital signature is a type of electronic signature that offers more security than a traditional electronic signature..
Example:         Many people are familiar with this. This when you sign the electronic pad when you purchase something at Wal-Mart using your credit/debit card. Many other store chains use this type of signature such as Giant, GameStop, Best Buy and Target.          Here are “official signatures” where the user must type their name as their signature to a document.	Example:          When you sign a document with a digital signature, the signature links a “fingerprint” of the document to your identity. Then that information is permanently embedded into the document, and the document will show if someone comes in and tries to tamper with it after you’ve signed it
