Stronger than pen and paper
A good e-signature solution can be safer and more trustworthy than a wet signature, especially for remote signing, because of:
Authentication
The recipient must sign in and authenticate, for example using their email address. This means the signee has validated that they are the intended recipient.
Integrity
Once a signature is requested, the original document cannot be changed, swapped or tampered with. This means the signee can only sign the document you intended them to sign.
Non-repudiation
There is evidence about where the electronic signature came from, which strengthens the process. This means there is additional information supporting the validity of the signature.
