To attach a digital signature to a file, you must have a digital ID (certificate), which is issued by a certificate authority. A digital ID identifies either an individual or an organization.

A digital ID contains a name, serial number, expiration date, and other information that certifies the digital signature. From a certificate authority, you can obtain digital IDs with a security level of Low, Medium, or High.
