But many companies that make "genuine" (or ?other?!) products also have
"dubious" employees, or importers in other countries, who are ?less
scrupulous? about the way that DoCs are produced!
What can a villain do with a fake DoC without a fake product to go with
it? In any case, you can't stop forgery these days; you no longer need
any skill. Give me any DoC and I'll give you a copy immediately.
(Almost) Finally, as most companies and government departments now
routinely accept electronic documentation as part of day-to-day
commercial transactions, then surely electronic signatures are
absolutely part of that process ? that?s part of the hi-tech world we
live in today! That?s why big companies, with the caveats previously
mentioned now, may take that approach.
I didn't argue against electronic signatures at all; I juts pointed out
that extreme security isn't necessary because a forged DoC is useless
without a product to go with it, and it's very far more difficult to get
the product.
OTOH, it?s probably not appropriate for small companies making small
quantities, or ?on-offs?, of products because it?s more trouble than
it?s worth!
I don't see why. If I were still making products to sell, I would
certainly use digital documentation as far as possible.
