Digital signature

You can make digital signatures with your phone. The signature can be traced
back to you via the private key on the security module and the user certificate that
was used to perform the signature. Using the digital signature can be the same as
signing your name to a paper bill, contract or other document.

To make a digital signature, select a link on a page, for example, the title of the
book you want to buy and its price. The text to sign (possibly including amount,
date, etc.) will be shown.

Check that the header text is

Read

and that the digital signature icon

is

shown.
