Absence of Digital Signature Authority

 A digital signature is an electronic signature that can be used to authenticate the identity of the sender of a message or the signatory of a document
 Digital signatures are easily transportable, cannot be imitated by someone else, and can be automatically time-stamped
 The ability to ensure that the original signed message arrived means that the sender cannot easily repudiate it later
 A certificate authority or certification authority (CA) is an entity that issues digital certificates for use by other parties
 CAs are characteristic of many public key infrastructure (PKI) schemes
 There are also several providers issuing digital certificates to the public at no cost. Institutions and governments may have their own CAs.
 Sadly, we are much behind and there is still no Digital Signature Authority here in Bangladesh
