# Digital Signatures and Web3

Combining cryptographic signature schemes with **Web3 technology** provides an opportunity to increase the efficiency and security of digital signature workflows.

**Blockchain** ensures signatures are time-stamped on an immutable ledger and verifiable by permissioned users directly from the network.

Additionally**, self-sovereign signatures**, enabled by blockchain technology, have the power to improve identity linkage of signatories by leveraging **digital identity** credentials.
