Question

Using the base HRSD configuration with no integrations, when the subject person electronically signs an HR document or PDF document, the signature is saved as what?

1) a digital signature
2) a picture of the signature that is added to the document
3) a digital key
4) a digital certificate

Answer 1

In a basic HRSD configuration, an electronically signed HR or PDF document captures the signature as a digital signature, which includes encryption and authenticity verification.

Step-by-step explanation:

When using the base HRSD configuration with no integrations, the subject person's electronic signature on an HR document or PDF is saved as a digital signature. A digital signature is an encrypted electronic form of certification that verifies the authenticity of the document and the signer. Unlike a simple picture or scanned image of a signature, a digital signature includes a digital key that is used to verify the signature's authenticity and ensure that the document has not been altered after the signature was placed.
