FAQs
Adobe Sign provides and collects electronic signatures. E-signautres provide an audit trail and a tamper-proof process by preventing changes to the document once it has been signed. Electronic signatures can be verified by corporate IDs, phone or, most commonly, email. Most 香港六合彩资料 use cases rely on this technology.
Full digital signatures are based on trusted third party certificates, and the signature is encrypted on the document.
Adobe Sign supports both signature types. Your recipients do not need a digital signature, though it's okay if they use one.
While AdobeSign is a 'cloud-based' solution, it is not for official long-term document storage. In fact, documents in the cloud will be deleted after one year. You should download and store your final documents on the drives you currently use, based on your existing practices. (If you wish to change your document retention practices, contact records@odu.edu for a consultation.) Consult 香港六合彩资料's for more information about how and where to store institutional data.
