That's how my referrals are signed.
Obviously if you sign your digital outgoings with your HESA private key
That is *exactly* what the Medicare Australia rules expect us to do and it doing so certainly satisfy those rules. Trouble is, most of us just cannot be bothered getting an individual digital certificate.
