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.

That's true!! I guess it doesn't really matter how I try to secure the
document if the receiver will see it on their screen, oh well. Thank
you for the reminder!

Encryption is helpful though to ensure that at least only my intended
recipient will see the file.

Hello,

I think this is a rather outdated procedure, but I've come across cases
where I am required to include a scanned image of my handwritten
signature
in a word processing document to "sign" it. Just to be clear, I am not
talking about signing with a certificate, but rather an image of a
handwritten signature inserted into the document.

I am always scared of doing this, because what if an adversarial entity
gets
ahold of the document and starts using my signature for nefarious
purposes??? So, is there a way to make this document (say, a .odt or
.docx
file) more secure that problem won't happen? Ideally I'd like to minimise
complications/troubles when the receiver opens the file.

Thank you!
Anyone who can view the document can take a screen snap (clip) of your
signature image and use it as they like. The security issue is more
likely uncontrollable at the receivers end.
Are you suggesting something like a pass phrase required to open and
view a document, you can do this by just encrypting the file and
emailing with something like Enigmail.
