Trusting Digital Signatures

Digital signatures can be added to your trusted certificates list from other users that you trust. Once added to your list, anytime a document is signed using the same digital ID it will be listed as trusted.

Note: It's important that you only trust certificates from someone you know and have already established a mutual trust.
