A digital certificate is an electronic credential that binds an identity to a public and private key pair that is used to apply digital signatures. GlobalSign digital certificates are ideal for FDA ESG digital signatures since they bind both the signer and the signer’s organization to the submission. Since the identity has been vetted by strict guidelines specified in the GlobalSign Certificate Practice Statement, organizations can be assured the signature is legally binding.
