Identity theft is a major issue, and has been increasing with alarming regularity in the past few years. Along with identity theft, there is also the possibility of someone also using your financial accounts to purchase items online.

I am constantly looking for ways that I can remain as secure as possible while online, and YubiKey seems to be a great addition to my security procedures. The one thing that I have been doing is creating secure passwords for all my online identities. I am currently using LastPass to manage my passwords, and it has made my job of managing passwords so much easier.

Electronic signatures are a commonly misunderstood technology. Many people are simply not aware of the legal validity of e-signatures and believe there may be privacy or security concerns with signing documents online. However, the fact is an e-signature carries the same legal weight as a traditional wet-ink signature, and the document is considered to be legally binding once an e-signature is affixed to it. Electronically signed documents are stored in a database for both parties to access at any time and follow a strict set of guidelines regarding their application, distribution, and legality.
