A digital signature certificate (DSC) is a secure digital key issued by recognised Certifying Authorities (CAs) to validate the identity of the certificate holder. It contains an individual’s name, digital signature, date of issuance of the certificate and date of expiry, and the name of the CA.
Apart from authenticating the certificate holder’s identity, DSC helps in the following ways:
Digital signatures ensure a smoother workflow in an organization by limiting the time and cost spent on signing documents and contracts. Documents can be signed by the required persons in a click of a button. This is especially useful when the signer is located in a different area and there is no dependency for him/her to be physically present.
Added security features in DSC prevents unauthorised use of your document and data. No one can fake your signature, tamper the data or alter your document. DSC ensures your signature is valid, verified and legitimate.
According to the Information Technology Act, 2000, a DSC is accepted evidence in any court of law similar to the acceptance of any signed document.
Apart from government bodies like GST, MCA, Income Tax, etc., a DSC is being accepted in all the countries across the world as it offers greater security. DSC is important for companies looking to take part in government tenders.
The IT law allows us three Classes of DSC Class 1, Class 2 and Class 3 used for different purposes based on the type of entity and need. C, however we only sell Class 2 and Class 3 certificates. We are not selling Class 1 Certificates.
Class 1 certificate is issued to both businesses and individuals, or private subscribers, to confirm the user’s name and email id as mentioned in the consumer database. This is just a basic assurance and is usually not considered to be of major significance.
Similar to Class 1, Class 2 certificate is issued to both the entities - businesses and private subscribers for confirmation of information in the database. It is used during monetary transactions or to access one’s personal information, and for other transactions, where there is a substantial risk of malicious activity. More uses of Class 2 Digital Signature Certificates are given below.
- MCA e-filing
- Income Tax e-filing
- LLP registration
- GST application
- IE code registration
- Form 16,etc
Class 3 certificate is an upgraded version of Class 2. It is issued to individuals and organisations that want to participate in bidding for tenders or online tenders and auctions. Sometimes the applicants may be expected to be physically present before the CAs to receive a Class 3 certificate. Class 3 signatures are relevant to environments that are prone to data theft, fraudulence and failure of security. Following are the main functions of Class 3 certificates
- E-tendering
- Patent and trademark e-filing
- MCA e-filing
- Customs e-filing

A DSC is created based on the PKI mechanism where two keys - a public key and private key are generated. The private key is kept by the signer and the public key is required by the receiver to decrypt the information regarding the identity of the user during information exchange. The user can store the private key on a computer or hard disk as a token and access it with his/her respective password issued.
During the transfer of information, both the keys are used by the browser and the server to encrypt and decrypt information, to authorise the identity of the user. The public key is disseminated with the encrypted information. The authentication process fails even if one of the keys does not match. Hence the encrypted data cannot be decrypted making it impossible for unauthorised access.
Currently valued at 17.72 billion USD, the global digital signature is set to reach 31.1% Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) by 2027. The main factors driving the increase is the growing dependency on digital signatures to overcome fraud and ensure the security of various documents.
The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has issued a circular on extending the use of digital signature certifications (DSC) till 31st December, 2020. DSC is used for authentication/certification of filings/ submissions made under the SEBI Regulations, 2015 to the Stock Exchanges. This relaxation was in view of the COVID-19 disruption.
Due to COVID19, more corporations are venturing into the use of digital signatures for verification purposes. For this reason, the digital signing market is expected to grow substantially in the next few years. Digital PoS system developer, IDSign, plans to invest 20 Million USD on this market within India, and another 100 Million USD across other geographies.
