Summary/Abstract: Digital signature solutions are rapidly replacing classic signatures and have the potential to dominate signature-related processes. The concept of a digital signature is based on the transition from paper to electronic documentation and the automation of workflow systems, by reducing the processing time of documents. The digital signature offers the possibility to identify a person who has signed an electronic document. The main benefits of this technology include increased efficiency, lower costs, and increased customer satisfaction. Digital signatures must be clearly distinguished from ordinary authentication processes. While authentication is only used to verify the identity of endusers, digital signatures also ensure data integrity. The paper analyzed the importance and main arguments, challenges, and strategies for the implementation of the digital signature, as well as the role of the Information Technology and Cyber Security Service-STISC in the implementation of the digital signature in the Republic of Moldova.
