Description
It would be great if hyperref could support a \SignatureField for digital signatures.
There is some "prior art", see
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/51090/how-do-i-create-a-pdf-file-that-can-be-digitally-signed
But I didn't find a working solution for me (digsig doesn't render in tests I did, neither in Adobe Acrobat nor in Okular) and eforms seems to be incompatible with hyperref forms.
