What is the meaning of an Electronic Signature?

To get a document signed, just upload it. Drag and drop the signature and form fields into the page after entering the email addresses of your recipients. After you click Send, Zoom Signatures will email a link to your document to each signer.

Here are several methods for creating an electronic signature: Use a mouse or finger to create your signature.
Create an account with ZOOM Signatures and upload a picture of your signature.
Draw it by hand using your cursor.
Use our typefaces to personalize as you type your signature.

A handwritten signature can be replaced by an electronic one. The law, however, does not necessarily specify what that should be. It specifies the requirements for writing a contract but leaves it up to the reader to decide whether paper and pen or a computer and mouse should be used.

The advanced electronic signature standard is met by ZOOM Signatures, which also establishes a logical link between the signer and the final document. Some elements of the signing process satisfy other requirements of UK common law and US law tests for valid contracts, and PDF Certification (and "hashing" as a secondary backup) creates a tamper-proofed and time-stamped final document. 1-use links provide a unique connection with a signer and guarantee sole control of a signing event. Email (and additional identity verification, if required) can be used to identify a person.

Electronic signatures do not have to adhere to a particular format. Instead, they may be used in a variety of ways, each having unique properties. Hence, we may list the following instances of widespread usage of electronic signatures today:
A certificate authority issues digital certificates.
Token. Although it is regarded as an illustration of a digital signature, the banking industry is the only place where it is now employed.
Employing biometric information for identification and signature.
Authentication with a username and password (in either one or two steps).
An electronic handwritten signature.
