The appraisal industry now supports its members' use of digital signatures.
That's a good thing.
Signing credentials have been deployed in a way that lets an impostor write his own appraisal and sign it with your credential.
That's a very bad thing.
Protect yourself!
Your digital signature carries your reputation.
When you digitally sign an appraisal file, that signature is made with something called a private key.
If your private key is not well protected, anyone who gets their hands on it can purport to be you. Since your credential represents your professional license, reputation and livelihood, your private key should never be shared. And since personal computers typically carry intrusive malware, your private key should never even be put in your computer.
Let AppraiSecure show you how your precious private key can remain in your smart card, secure USB device, jewelry, or other isolated "wallet." It never leaves the isolated device - even when it is used to sign a document!
