Human readable content for digital signatures

A method for increasing validity of a digital signature comprising the following steps:

• loading a configuration file on an operating system running on a computer, wherein the configuration file is configured to force public key infrastructure (PKI) on documents that require the digital signature from a user of the computer;
• receiving with the operating system, a request to have the user apply the digital signature to a given document;
• verifying, with the operating system, that the given document complies with a predefined ruleset before the user is given an opportunity to apply the digital signature to the given document, wherein the predefined ruleset prescribes font size, color, and legibility standards, and wherein the predefined ruleset prohibits inclusion of data in the given document that is not explicitly defined and allowed by the predefined ruleset;
• presenting the user with the given document on a user-computer interface in such a way that an entire content of the given document is completely reviewable by the user only if the given document complies with the predefined ruleset;
• upon the operating system receiving instruction from the user to sign the given document, generating the digital signature according to public key infrastructure (PKI) thereby creating a digitally-signed document that replicates the entire content of the given document, as presented to the user in the presenting step;
• enabling the user to perform one or more of printing, sharing, and saving the digitally-signed document in a memory store;
• and
• sending the digitally-signed document to a browser.
