Electronic signature, also known as "electronic signature", "electronic signature" and "electronic signature", is a personal signature similar to signing an agreement or content on a physical document, except that the electronic signature is realized through digital media. Electronic signature is "an electronic sound, symbol or process attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record, which is executed or adopted by the person who intends to sign the record." Electronic signature has legal effect and enforceability in almost every industrialized country in the world. The laws and regulations of electronic signature vary from country to country, but the basic principles of signing documents are mostly the same.
