[AccessD] Electronic Signature

Just want to make sure on which type of digital signature you want
There is the jpeg image capture of a handwritten signature.
Like the one you enter signing for a UPS package.
This uses MS InkEdit Controls.
or
a digital signature via a purchased or generated
digital certificate a la  Verisign

One problem I have found,  is installing digital certificates for programs
into the users machine certificate cache on locked down networks.
