OT from Is it called 'wax' seal ?

The modern alternative, in a digital society, to the medieval "sealing wax" is the digital signature:

Unfortunately barely used by ordinary people. Therefore hackers can pretend to be friends and family while conversation by e-mail and send malicious content or links to malicious websites. A common route of infection for politicians and businessmen (mostly as experienced in computer science as ordinary people).

Moderator Note

Is a digital signature sticky? Can you prepare a small amount for obtaining a relief pattern to yield a negative?

No?  Then this is off-topic.
