Signatures can be added to any form using one of the methods listed:
The signature control only captures a handwritten signature image. It does not create a digital signature. A signed section that is set to wet signature both captures a handwritten signature image and creates a digital signature over the contents of the section. See below.

Wet Signature Control
You can use the signature control to place a signature anywhere in your form. Wet signatures allow the user to enter their signature using either a track pad/mouse, stylus or a touch screen during form completion. Authentication to the server is not required. Wet signatures are supported on Signed Form Sections where the designer can choose text/image or wet signature formats. Wet signatures will be optionally rendered on the pdf/print copy of the form. Your browser must support HTML5 canvas technology for proper signature entry functionality. Here is a list of browsers that can be used:
...
When designing a form with an electronic wet signature control, the captured signature is attached to the form submission as a PNG image attachment. Any Live Forms document actions affecting the form data includes the signature png image. For example, should you choose to post the data to your web application, then the signature png is part of that posted data. Should you choose to email the data, the signature png will be attached to the email. Finally, should you choose none of these things, then the captured signature png is available for downloading by browsing your submissions within . See Submissions Stored Inside of Live Forms for the details.
Forms and flows can be made accessible to help individuals with visual and motor impairment. Refer to this topic for the behavior of the Wet Signature control when this property is checked.
Signed Sections
provides true digital signature functionality via a section control in your form. The granularity is at the section control, so that different parts of the form can be signed by different people rather than a signature being applied only to the entire form. You must be an authenticated user to sign a section whether you choose Wet Signature or Text/Signature Image on the section security tab in the designer.
...
The default value is None Required. The Must sign property makes the signature required. With Must sign, a form cannot be submitted or a workflow is not sent to the next person until the signature is added. Lock sign means that the next person in the workflow can not remove the signature and edit the signed data. A good use case is an employee performance review where the manager starts the form, and signs the review, and sends it to the employee. You would check Lock sign so the employee cannot unsign and edit the data entered by the manager.
Selecting Checking Must Sign will disable the None Required option from the signature dropdown will change the signature format type to Text/Signature Image and disable None Required as a choice if Must Sign is checked.Signature dropdown and automatically selects Text/Signature Image. You can change the Signature dropdown to Wet Signature.
Sections that are hidden/not hidden via a rule or the Visible property in the designer, behave as stated below with respect to Must Sign:
...
All of the standard properties and settings apply to the signature control. For example, the required setting can be used to force the entry of a wet signature in order for the form to be valid (in use mode). You can change the width of the signature light box by changing the value of the Width property grid to another value.
