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.
