For the Paperless Office: Digital ID from Verisign

There are lots of easy ways to go paperless but when it comes to verified, signed documents the hard copy can be hard to beat. While there are many industries where a facsimile signature is okay, there are other times when it just doesn’t cut it.

One way to have the best of both worlds – paperless and official – is with a Digital ID from Verisign that allow you to sign documents digitally. The service costs $19.95 per year and with it you can digitally sign your email and receive encrypted email. Your Digital ID is bound to your unique email address. In addition to signing documents, the Digital ID can be used as a combined user ID and password on websites with restricted access.

For documents, the Digital ID allows you to encrypt, verify, sign and send documents without ever printing them out. Pretty green and efficient. The Digital ID for Secure email is available at VeriSign.
