Though the advantages of the electronic signatures far outweigh the disadvantages if any these were felt even more during the First World War. This is due to the fact that Morse code was used as a major form of communication as was the case in WWII. In the case of war the message needed to be an original and an electronic signature was the only way to ensure this happened.
Even though the computer was a few years away the codes had to have a signature that was unique to the sender of the instructions. This still proves to be a necessary component not only in war fare but in business as well and it has not changed much in the 20th and 21st century but it has greatly been improved.
The electronic signature options that are currently available are in the form of a sound and even image that is unique to the original user. This is a fool proof solution for the originator of the information and the end user. It keeps documents in their original state as they can not be changed once the signature has been put in place. If a person should attempt to alter anything on the document than it is null and void.
This is as legally binding as the regular hand written signature and it shows that the signer is completely aware of what they have gotten into and the consequences surrounding their actions. If there is any need to sue the signer then this is admissible in court.
Other forms of the electronic signature are an electronic process or symbol that is logically associated with a report or contract.
The electronic signature could include one or more characters or letters, numbers or any other digital content the owner may wish to incorporate.
The advantages of electronic signatures are so many that people just don't care about the high cost that is needed to implement it. This is a fool proof solution to authenticate the sender and receiver of the data as well as the data is not altered. Thanks a lot for sharing the advantages that it offers.
