Digital signatures in PDFs

for

What are the best practices for setting up digital signatures in a PDF?

Not talking about a graphic of someone's signature, but those verified
electronic signatures you register with Adobe and other certifying
companies.

When a PDF is created, we have the ability to add a Digital Signature field
(technically it's a form field, even if there aren't any other form fields
in the document).

Is there anything else that needs to be done to make it accessible?

And how difficult is it for AT users to sign with a digital signature?

Thanks for your advice,

-Bevi Chagnon
