Any form of electronic identifier, including a digital signature.
Refers to the application of an electronic symbol in accordance with the U.S. Government's Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act.
A code or symbol that is the electronic equivalent of a written signature.
A computer data compilation of any symbol or series of symbols executed, adopted, or authorized by an individual to be the legally binding equivalent of the individual's handwritten signature.
s - Also known as digital signatures, these are the electronic equivalent of written signatures. They allow businesses to sign documents and carry out business transactions electronically.
A digitally encrypted signature capable of verification by an independent service provider, in accordance with the Electronic Signatures Regulations 2002.
a code or symbol that serves as the equivalent of a written signature
a combined signature and lock protecting against alterations in a document
a computer data compilation of any symbol or series of symbols executed, adopted or authorised by an individual to be legally binding and equivalent to a hand written signature
a cryptographic mechanism that performs a similar function to a written signature
a digital authentication process attached to or logically associated with an electronic document and shall carry the same weight, authority, and effects as a manual signature
a signature made electronically (digitally) on an electronic document
a technology, used in place of handwritten signatures or seal impressions on paper documents, to enable detection of unauthorized modification of a digital document, and to certify who created the document
Data in electronic form, attached to other data and associated with it through cryptographic transformation. Used to verify the signer's identity; protects the message against forgery due to the cryptographic transformations, impossible to reproduce without the signer's private key.
An electronic method of signing loan documents that identifies and authenticates an applicant and indicates the applicant's approval of the information contained in the documents. Electronic signature on a contract has the same legal validity as pen-and-paper signature.
data in electronic form that is logically associated with or affixed to a data message and used to identify the signer of the data message. Used to indicate the signer's approval of the information contained in the data message. 4.3.5
Student borrowers can electronically sign both their Federal Direct Loan and Federal Perkins Loan promissory notes online using provided PINs that serve as their electronic signature.
A paperless method of entering into an electronic contract. To "sign" a contract electronically a person may be asked to type his or her name into a box, paste a scanned version of his or her signature into a box, click an "I accept" button, or use a "key" to encrypt (scramble) information that uniquely identifies the signer using a method called public key infrastructure (PKI).
An electronic symbol or process logically associated with an electronic record and executed by a person with the intent and full knowledge that the electronic signature constitutes a valid certification of the electronic record.
Covers any means of signing documents electronically. Examples of electronic signatures include a scanned image of a handwritten signature; a signature created by an electronic "pen" by "writing" on a computer screen; and a digital signature (see above)
Information or data in electronic form, attached to or logically associated with an electronic record, and executed or adopted by a person or an electronic agent of a person, with the intent to sign a contract, agreement, or record.
Done in an electronic format in place of a traditional paper and handwritten (wet) signature.
A means of protecting a message from denial of origination by the sender, usually involving the use of asymmetric encryption to produce an encrypted message or a cryptographic check function.
Signature created by any electronic means. Signing a notepad that electronically transfers the physical lines of your signature is an example. Engineers Estimate: Mn/DOT's estimate of what a project will cost to construct. This estimate is prepared using the final plan and proposal. It is compared with the bids received to determine if the project should be awarded. The Engineers Estimate is not available to the public (by statue) until after the project is awarded.
In recent years, the terms electronic signature and digital signature have come into widespread, and somewhat confused, use. Electronic signature is often used to mean either a signature inputed to a text via one or more of several electronic means, or cryptographic means to add non-repudiation and message integrity features to a document. Digital signature usually refers specifically to a cryptographic signature, either on a document, or on a lower-level data structure. The confusion in terminology is unsatisfactory in many respects, and will remain so until usage, especially in statutes and regulations, becomes more standardized. More Info...
Digital form signature using encryption systems. It should be associated with the signer only, allow to identify him or her, be created with resources controlled exclusively by the signer, and be linked with the data the contents of which it validates, so any change to the latter can be detected. It provides transaction authentication, data integrity and non-denial.
A technologically neutral term indicating various methods of signing an electronic message that (a) identify and authenticate a particular person as source of the electronic message; and (b) indicate such person's approval of the information contained in the electronic message (UETA). Examples of electronic signature technologies include PINs, user identifications and passwords, digital signatures, digitized signatures, and hardware and biometric tokens.
A paperless way to sign a document using an electronic symbol or process attached or associated with the document.
Electronic view/editing followed by electronic authentication (signature) by the provider.
Electronic signature software binds your signature, or other mark, to a specific document. In June 2000, the U.S. government passed the E-sign bill, which gives electronic signatures the same legality as hand-written ones
A paperless method of entering into an electronic contract. To "sign" a contract electronically, a person may be asked to click an "I Accept" button or use a "key" to encrypt (scramble) information that uniquely identifies the signer using a method called Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). Electronic signatures are as binding as those in ink.
Electronic substitute for a handwritten signature using an input device such as Palmpal Digitiser or handheld devices such as Palm Pilot or Pen Computers.
The term electronic signature has several meanings. In recent US law, influenced by ABA committee white papers and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL), electronic signature means "an electronic sound, symbol, or process, attached to or logically associated with a record and executed or adopted by a person with the intent to sign the record." This definition comes from the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or "UETA" released by NCCUSL in 1999. http://www.law.upenn.edu/bll/ulc/fnact99/1990s/ueta99.htm The U.S.
