In the digital age, ensuring the security and authenticity of online transactions and documents is paramount. Digital signatures are a critical component in this regard, providing a secure and legally binding way to sign documents electronically. Class 3 Digital Signature Certificates (DSCs) represent the highest level of security and are used for e-commerce applications, online bidding, and more. At Radhika Digital, we assist businesses and individuals in obtaining Class 3 digital signatures to enhance their online security. This guide offers a detailed overview of Class 3 digital signatures, their importance, and how Radhika Digital can help you obtain one.

What is a Class 3 Digital Signature?

A Class 3 Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or a stamped seal, but it offers far more inherent security. It is primarily used for high-security transactions and online applications where authenticity and integrity are paramount. Class 3 DSCs are issued to individuals, organizations, and devices, following a rigorous verification process.
