The number of transactions carried out with the use of electronic signatures continues to grow

Electronic signature is one of the tools that are used for determining the identity of a virtual space user. It is a code performing all the functions of a signature in the electronic system that is used for encoding out-going electronic information and identifying the sender. As an element confirming electronic document exchange, electronic signature ensures the secure and flexible implementation of processes in the virtual space. It is for this reason that the number of users of electronic signature continues to grow.
