What benefits do products such as DocuSign or cheapesignature have over digital signatures provided by open source libraries such as NaCl [1]?
Sadly the digital signatures are uncommon, because well, its a digitalisation effort in Germany, of course nobody did anything competent about actually implementing it. (e.g. a while after creating those laws, ID cards were changed to be smart cards too. And instead of just giving everyone a usable cert on one of those that's a paid extra)
The services being discussed are the higher-level tools.
