• The Digital Signature Certificate (DSC) is a secure electronic form of identification, which can be used to validate a user’s identity in a secure manner. It is a secure form of electronic identification, similar to a physical identity card. It can be used to prove a user's identity and to securely sign documents, including legal documents, contracts, and other official documents.

• A digital signature Certificate in Mauritius is a legally binding electronic form of identification that is used to verify the authenticity of a digital document or transaction.
• It is based on asymmetric cryptography, which uses two keys—a public key and a private key—to create a digital signature Certificate.
• The process involves hashing the document or transaction and then encrypting it with the sender's private key.
• It can then be encrypted with the receiver's public key to prove the document or transaction came from the sender.

Please explain what are other uses of obtaining this document/certificate.
e.g. Birth Certificate can be used as proof of identity.
