  3. A Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) serves as an electronic and legally recognized substitute for the conventional wet signature. It is used for online transactions, accessing services or information on the internet, and digitally signing documents. Additionally, individuals can employ a digital signature certificate for sending encrypted emails. This certificate verifies the identity of the signer, which is essential for creating a digital signature.
