Signing a PDF via "/s/ Name E. Name" and sending it via e-mail solves the "lost pages" issue, and doesn't require the parties to use cryptographic techniques.

- toast0 3y agoThe point is forgery of signatures and contracts is not typically an issue. In contract disputes, there's usually no dispute of if a contract was signed. Sometimes there's a dispute over which contract was signed, but then each party may have a signature on a contract or not. Much more often there's no disagreement on the contract or that it was signed, but on the terms. It's nice that electronic signing can solve the issue of validity of signatures, but it's not that big of a deal, because it wasn't that much of an issue; and that's why e-signing has devolved into 'click a button to enter a signature' without any sort of cryptography.
