I think digitally signing means different things in different contexts. I made a GnuPG key but idk what I'm doing. But I use docusign all the time.

    Docusign is a certificate authority that requires no actual signing. You can literally sign with an "X" and if someone asks "did Sem sign the contract?" they can check their database and say "yep".

    That's all Docusign does. It's a middle-man.

    GPG keys cut out the middle-man, and if someone asks "did Sem sign this document?" you can literally say "yes, please use my public key to test"

    The bureaucratic kind, one that usually involves a government given pfx, adobe acrobat and some text plus timestamp. Okular can do it if you put your mind to it and waste a lot of time but it's really involved.
