Difference Between Digital Signature and Digital Certificate (with Comparison Chart)
Digital Signature is an attachment to the electronic document which can be viewed as a signature. Once a document is signed, its data can not be altered without invalidating the signature. Digital Signature is created using signer’s key for encrypting the document.
On the other side, Digital Certificate is a medium to prove holder’s identity for a particular electronic transaction. It grants certification to the people or website and also offers protection against data exchange from visitor to website.
