Issued by licensed Certifying Authorities under the IT Act, 2000, a DSC ensures authenticity of the signer, confidentiality of sensitive information, complete protection against data tampering, and legal enforceability of digital documents.
In an era where business operations, government filings, and legal documentation have moved fully online, Digital Signature Certificates serve as the backbone of secure digital authentication.
DSCs are stored securely in encrypted USB tokens and are widely used for official filings and secure online transactions across all major government portals in India.
