Changes

At the Canadian federal government level, the terms electronic signature, digital signature and secure electronic signature are all present in Government of Canada (GC) legislation.  The purpose of this post is to help clarify these terms so that they can be used consistently throughout the GC.  This post is primarily based on the [https://www.canada.ca/en/government/system/digital-government/online-security-privacy/government-canada-guidance-using-electronic-signatures.html Government of Canada Guidance on using Electronic Signatures] but provides a more condensed tutorial on the terminology.
