Digital Signatures provide the following benefits:
  1. Recipients of digitally signed drawings can be sure that the organizations or individuals who sent the drawings are trustworthy.
  2. A Digital Signature guarantees that a drawing’s content and properties have not changed since the drawing was digitally signed.
