Digital IDs
About digital IDs
Digital IDs include a private key that you safeguard and a public key (certificate) that you share.
What is a digital ID?
A digital ID is like an electronic driver’s license or passport that proves your identity. A digital ID usually contains your
name and email address, the name of the organization that issued it, a serial number, and an expiration date. Digital
IDs are used for certificate security and digital signatures.
Digital IDs contain two keys: the public key locks, or encrypts data; the private key unlocks, or decrypts that data. When
you sign PDFs, you use the private key to apply your digital signature. The public key is in a certificate that you
distribute to others. For example, you can send the certificate to those who want to validate your signature or identity.
Store your digital ID in a safe place, because it contains your private key that others can use to decrypt your
information.
