EDS keys (electronic digital signature) — This is a modern and convenient alternative to a traditional handwritten signature when confirming the authenticity and integrity of an electronic document.
Such a signature is not similar to a traditional handwritten signature, but the digital signature is no less reliable. An electronic digital signature looks like a file containing an encoded unique identifier of an individual or legal entity.
After the digital signature keys are created, a pair of public and private keys is formed, which are interconnected. In this case, the public key is published on the official information resource, since it is necessary to verify the authenticity of the digital signature.
