Digital signature

You can make digital signatures with your phone if your SIM card has a security
module. Using the digital signature can be the same as signing your name to a
paper bill, contract, or other document.

To make a digital signature, select a link on a page, for example, the title of the
book you want to buy and its price. The text to sign, which may include the
amount and date, is shown.
