Electronic signature most convenient for exchange houses
The financial sector was most eager and quickest to turn to the e-signature. There are more and more questions about e-signing from exchange houses. The most common of them concern security issues.

These are individual values for each person, which cannot be forged or reused in another document.

SSL encryption is also involved, ensuring a secure data exchange. As if that were not enough, the electronic signature software on tablet is based on Signatus, which is fully compatible with Samsung KNOX. All these elements combined together provide security at the military level.
