For an electronic signature to have the same legally binding validity of a personal signature, it must fulfill the compliance and auditability requirements of the law. In almost all instances, it must be possible to prove "who" has signed "what" content "when" in a secure manner and be able to validate that the content has not changed in any way since it was signed.

Authentidate, The Trusted Transaction Authority^TM offers an extensive portfolio of electronic signature (eSignature) products and services with embedded digital signature (certificate-based), time stamping and identity credentialing features that fully meet or exceed legal requirements in the United States and in the European Union (EU) for electronic documentation.   We also tailor our offerings to address specific industry or client requirements.
