PDF files are vulnerable

A standard PDF can be opened, changed, and saved without leaving a trace. Even if it’s “signed.” A Foxit study found that 61% of users don’t notice when a signed document has been modified.

If you just paste a PNG or type your name — it’s wide open to manipulation.

This isn’t hypothetical. In 2023, a major insurance provider in Germany lost a court case because they couldn’t prove their PDF hadn’t been altered post-signing.

Cryptographic proof

A real digital signature creates a cryptographic hash — a unique fingerprint of the exact file version. If a single comma changes, the signature breaks.

That’s how digital signature verification works: visible, trackable, tamper-evident.

Platforms like DocuChain also record the signer’s IP address, timestamp, and a complete audit trail — making the document defensible in audits or legal disputes.

High-risk documents

  • client contracts
  • employment agreements
  • NDAs
  • copyright assignments
  • financial reports
  • These aren’t just documents — they’re liabilities. You need to sign sensitive documents in a way that proves not only who signed, but that nothing changed after.

Fast and secure

With DocuChain, you can create a digital signature online for free and sign documents online securely in under a minute. No installs. No logins. No setups. Each signed file includes embedded proof — not just a visual.

Trusted by design

Some tools don’t lock files after signing or skip metadata entirely. DocuChain doesn’t. It tracks everything. Once you sign, you know it’ll hold up — with clients, partners, or lawyers.

Trust starts at the signature.

When the document matters, don’t cut corners. Sign documents with DocuChain — with full encryption, verification, and audit history.
