It’s indeed very convenient to be able to sign documents with a computer and send them back by email. But… what will happen the day a hacker takes control of my mailbox (Or that of one of my correspondents...), retrieves the documents that I sent with my signature, isolates my signature and uses it to sign his own documents falsified with my name?
