What is Electronic Signature..?
Most businesses these days use electronic signatures for obtaining users consent or approval of documents online. Some of them still have questions like, are these signatures legally binding, secure, acceptable by court as evidence.
Let us first understand what an electronic signature is. According to ESIGN, an electronic signature is "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a contract or other record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record.
Along with electronic signature, authentication is also important. According to ESIGN, authentication can be defined as evidence that a given record, contract, or form is a genuine unaltered written representation of an agreement approved by two or more parties, whether in paper or electronic form.
The general requirements of electronic signatures are described below:
* The signer must intend the signature to have the same force and effect as signature affixed by hand.
* The signature must be unique to the person using it.
* The signature must be verifiable as belonging to the user.
* The signature must be under the sole control of the person using it.
* The signature must be attached or linked to the document in a way that authenticates the integrity of the electronic signature and document contents.
Scanned copies of manually signed signature / initials or dynamically generated
using an electronic signature solution are the most suitable and can be used to
sign any documents online.
