What is DSC?
Digital Signature (DSC) is a physical signature in an electronic format. Digital Signature Certificates are helpful in validating the personal information of the individual holder of such certificate when conducting online business.A DSC provides a high level of security for online transactions by ensuring absolute confidentiality of information.

Just as handwritten signature is used for signing the physical documents, DSC is used to sign electronic records such as e-forms etc.
