Digital stamp

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A digital stamp, in mail or philately, is similar to a conventional postage stamp except it is resident on or in a computer. A digital stamp can typically be downloaded and printed onto envelopes or packages by authorized individuals.

Some artistamp-issuing entities have issued "digital stamps", which have usually remained only pictures on a computer.

See computer vended postage.

Reference:

A digital stamp can also be an encoded way of "approving" or "remarking on" a digital copy of a document. Paper/hard copies of documents continue to be popular because they can be signed/initialed/remarked on in a manner that is unique and traceable to the reviewer. A digital stamp seeks to duplicate or replace this and enable a paperless exchange of information that still manages to have a verfiable comment and review
