Standard Signatures

What are Standard Signatures?

Standard signatures enable document recipients to sign with nothing but their mobile phone. With standard signatures, two-factor authentication ensures that only the intended recipient can sign your documents.‍Standard signatures provide a balance of security and ease of use, making them ideal for known contacts or for signees whose identity has already been verified or is not required.

 

The signing process with Standard Signatures

1. Document sent for signing digitally

The signee receives an email with a link to start the document signing process

2. Document is signed

The signee chooses their desired digital signature appearance and receives a code sent via text message to complete the signing.

3. Signed document is delivered

The signed document is delivered along with documented evidence of the signing process. It's that easy.

 

Security measures of Standard Signatures

Standard signatures utilise the recipient's email and phone number to help ensure only the intended recipient can sign the document.

A certified TSA timestamp ensures that the signing time meets eIDAS guidelines and the document is suitable for long-term preservation.

Finally, the document is electronically sealed to ensure it cannot be manipulated or tampered with after the signing process.

 

Evidence page

Each signing process that utilises Standard Signatures for one or more signatures in the process, is accompanied with an evidence page. The evidence page includes information about all steps taken in the process including:

  • the creation of the signing process,
  • the delivery of the signing process to the signee,
  • when the signee looked at the process/document
  • the authentication process
  • the signature process
  • the delivery of documents

The evidence page includes attributes such as:

  • Timing
  • IP numbers
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers

After everyone has signed the document, the evidence page is delivered to the sender of the process or default delivery method of the customer, but not to the signee of the process.
