Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Strategies for securing a document with an embedded picture of signature

In some respects your signature was safer on a piece of paper in the 
filing cabinet.
I have a different signature I use on electronic documents, not the same 
as the one at the bank or the lawyer.
It's still me signing it (statement of CE conformity, drawings, etc.) 
but no one can get my money with it.
