How Do I Know When an Electronic Signature Can Be Trusted?

Trusting electronic documents is important when there is an electronic signature attached. How do you know that the signature is authentic and has not been falsified? The way to tell is by what type of signature is attached. If it is a digital signature, then it was encrypted and sent securely. If it was just a signature the sender typed into the document, then you have no real way to tell its authenticity.

Make a List of Employees Who Require an Encrypted Electronic Signature

An electronic signature can be converted into a digital signature for individuals within your organization. You should start by making a list of anyone who is required to sign any type of document or form for approval processes. You will also want to consider specific work flows, where tasks have to be signed off on, before projects can continue, and include these users as well.
