DSC (Digital Signature)

Digital Signature Certificate

A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is an electronic document that is used to identify an individual or organization and is issued by a certifying authority. In India, DSCs are used for various purposes, such as filing income tax returns, registering companies, and signing documents digitally.

DSCs are based on the Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) system, which uses a pair of public and private keys to ensure the authenticity and integrity of the signed document. The DSC contains the individual’s or organization’s name, date of birth, and other identifying information, along with the digital signature.
