Sign Excel spreadsheets

secure2signXL for Microsoft Office Excel: Digitally Sign Excel Spreadsheets and Forms

What is a Digital Signature?
A digital signature is the equivalent of a handwritten signature that can be used to sign a digital document on a computer or online. To be effective the digital signature must simulate the security and identity properties of a handwritten signature.This is a powerful and necessary capability in today’s business environment where organizations find themselves signing an ever expanding number of documents across organizations and geographic boundaries. Most importantly, these signatures need to be legally binding and non-repudiable – meaning the signer cannot deny that they were the person who signed the document. To give digital signatures, legal weight, a number of legislative measures have been developed to allow the legal adoption of digital signatures, giving them the same status as wet signatures. These measures include in the USA, Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (eSign) and in the European Union the EU Directive on Electronic Signatures.

Why Use Digital Signatures?

Digital signing significantly streamlines business processes. The documents no longer need to be printed, signed and mailed or faxed back - making it possible to create workflow systems that push documents along the signing process, maintain an audit trail of signatures, and greatly reduce paper consumption as well as costs of transmission and storage.
