What is a Digital Signature Certificate (DSC)?
A Digital Signature Certificate is a unique digital key that uses public key encryption to verify the identity of an individual or organization. It contains the user’s name, country, email address, and the name of the certifying authority. A DSC is a crucial tool for electronic transactions, providing:
- Authentication: Confirms the identity of the signer.
- Data Integrity: Guarantees that the document has not been altered after it was signed.
- Reduced Cost and Time: Eliminates the need for physical paperwork, printing, and scanning.
- Non-Repudiation: Prevents the signer from later denying their signature on a document.
Types and Classes of Digital Signature Certificates
There are different types and classes of DSCs, each designed for a specific purpose.
Types of DSC:
- Sign DSC: Used for digitally signing documents and forms, such as Income Tax Returns (ITR), GST returns, and MCA filings.
- Encrypt DSC: Used for encrypting sensitive data, especially for securing documents on e-tender portals.
- Sign & Encrypt DSC: A comprehensive solution that combines both signing and encryption for maximum security and confidentiality.
Classes of DSC:
- Class 1: Used for basic personal verification and securing email communications.
- Class 2: This class has been discontinued by the Controller of Certifying Authorities (CCA). All its functions have been replaced by a Class 3 DSC.
- Class 3: This is the highest level of DSC and is now mandatory for most official purposes, including e-Tendering, e-Procurement, and all government filings on platforms like MCA, GST, and ICEGATE.
