Class 1 and Class 3 Digital Certificates

Digital Signature Certificates has become a statutory requirement in various applications. Types and class of DSC is explained below:

The Class 1 Digital Signature certificates are issued for both business personnel and private individuals use.

The verification requirements for these certificates include:

(iii) Aadhaar eKYC OTP + Video Verification. The Private Key generation and storage could be in software.

(iii) Aadhaar eKYC OTP + Video Verification. The Aadhaar eKYC OTP and Aadhaar eKYC Biometric are the verification requirements.

How DSCs work?

Digital signatures, like handwritten signatures, are unique to each signer. Digital signature solution providers, such as DocuSign, follow a specific protocol, called PKI. PKI requires the provider to use a mathematical algorithm to generate two long numbers, called keys. One key is public, and one key is private.

When a signer electronically signs a document, the signature is created using the signer’s private key, which is always securely kept by the signer. The mathematical algorithm acts like a cipher, creating data matching the signed document, called a hash, and encrypting that data. The resulting encrypted data is the digital signature. The signature is also marked with the time that the document was signed. If the document changes after signing, the digital signature is invalidated.

To protect the integrity of the signature, PKI requires that the keys be created, conducted, and saved in a secure manner, and often requires the services of a reliable Certificate Authority (CA). Digital signature providers, like DocuSign, meet PKI requirements for safe digital signing.

A “Legal Notice” is a legal intimation sent to the opponent indicating that the aggrieved is preparing to file a lawsuit against the concern in case the demand mentioned in the relevant notice is not fulfilled.
Therefore, in a nutshell a legal notice can be defined as a formal communication to any person or a legal entity, informing the other party of your intention to undertake legal proceedings against them.

This notice, when sent, conveys your intention prior to the legal proceedings and thus, makes the party aware of your grievance.

Legal Notice is the concept describing a requirement that a party, company & person be aware of legal procedure affecting their own rights, obligations or duties.

A written document sent to someone, be it a person, company or any other entity, specifying that you have some grievances and you are preparing to file suit against him in civil court if the required demand is not fulfilled, is known as a Legal Notice.
Legal Notice is the baby step towards legal proceedings, and it acts like a warning to the person laying down conditions that need to be fulfilled, otherwise a civil suit shall be filed against him. For instance, if the tenant has not paid rent, the landlord can send a legal notice. In this case a tenant eviction notice is sent to the tenant for the nonpayment of rent. It states that if the rent is not paid before the specified date, the landlord has the right to initiate legal proceedings against him for payment of dues before a specified date or face eviction from the premises immediately.
