Equivalent Legal Validity:According to the Electronic Signature Law of the People's Republic of China, a reliable electronic signature has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature or seal.

Security and ConvenienceCA-based electronic seals, based on cryptographic technology, can effectively verify the identity of the signer, prevent documents from being altered during transmission or storage, and ensure the non-repudiation of the signing act. They also support remote online signing, greatly improving operational efficiency.文章源自FOFCC-http://fofcc.org.cn/en/33192/
