+ MUST READ: When you save a PDF with this tool, a cryptographic signature is attached.
+ This signature can be used to prove the PDF is unchanged since notarization,
+ and prove that you were the notary involved.
+
+ Signatures are generated using your private key, which you must keep secret.
+ Someone with the private key can modify a signed PDF without detection.
+ Protect your private key like you protect your notary stamp/seal.
+
+ A corresponding public key is also available; anyone with your public key can
+ verify you signed a document, but cannot do anything else.
+ It is recommended to post your public key somewhere public like a website.
+ This way, people can ensure documents are valid. It is also recommended to
+ back up your private key in case your computer malfunctions. This will ensure you don't need
+ to make a new one. A new key won't be able to verify older signatures or vice versa.
