E-Sign exhibits a convenient method of enabling secure document transfter between individuals and organizations. This is done by embedding a visible graphic signature on commonly used word processor documents such as MS Word documents. Using a typical scenario, a user can embedded their personal E-Sign on a document and email to a colleague. On receiving the document, the recipient can verify the authenticity of the document by the presence of the signature. If the document is modified or tampered with, the signature will not be present. The sender will have to re-insert their signature in the document to establish authenticity to the recipient.

The salient features of this solution are:
Simple: The E-Sign signatures are created by scanning actual signatures of users into the electronic format. The solution integrates with the word processor software and appears as an icon on the toolbar. Embedding the signature on the document requires one click of the toolbar icon.

Practical: Signature is embedded within standard word processor documents. The user can sign a document on virtually any computer, requiring just a personal E-Sign diskette.

Universal: Signed documents do not require any external software to verify the signature or to print, copy or modify the document.

Traceable: User has a list of signed documents and can verify their integrity.

Compact: The signature system requires minimal resources within the document or for the system.

Multi-platform: The solution can be installed on personal computers or enterprise networks.

E-Sign can be used as a stand alone solution for secure electronic document transfer and can also be integrated with third party applications to enhance the level of security. As an example, our ‘Vigilance & Fraud Monitoring’ product has been integrated with E-Sign to add additional value to the product.
