Electronic digital signature: prospects for use and methods of authentication
In the conditions of quarantine the question becomes more and more urgent: how to establish one’s work without leaving the office, so as not to expose oneself and one’s relatives to the risk of coronavirus infection? Thus, in the work of a lawyer, in addition to participating in court hearings and proceedings, a significant amount of labor costs is sending documents by mail or submitting documents to the court or relevant organization in person, and therefore visiting these institutions.
But today it is possible to do all this without leaving the office. That is why the method of sending documents by e-mail is becoming more and more popular, which has a certain nuance – the presence of an electronic digital signature (hereinafter – EDS).
In the article you will get answers to the following questions:

What opportunities does EDS give you?
How to sign an EDS document?
How to verify the authenticity of EDS?
The article will also find recommendations for using online services at work.
