Lucas Baudin: Improving Signatures in Papers: Malika's Outreachy Internship
Nowadays, people expect to be able to fill and sign PDF documents. We previously worked on features to insert text into documents and signatures needed to be improved.
There is actually some ambiguity when speaking about signatures in PDFs: there are cryptographic signatures that guarantee that a certificate owner approved a document (now denoted by "digital" signatures) and there are also signatures that are just drawings on the document. These latter ones of course do not guarantee any authenticity but are more or less accepted in various situations, depending on the country. Moreover, getting a proper certificate to digitally sign documents may be complicated or costly (with the notable exception of a few countries providing them to their residents such as Spain).
