SignDoc is a solution for signing and sealing electronic documents in a tamperproof, and legally-binding manner using the biometric characteristics of a person's signature.

  • After defining a signing area within an electronic document using SignDoc, an authorizing person may sign the document in exactly the same manner that they would sign a piece of paper.
  • This kind of electronic signature - also known as a "dynamic signature" or a "biometric signature" - is captured using one of many supported signature capture devices such as a pen pad, a writing tablet or a Tablet PC.
  • The authenticity of the signature can be verified at any point in time either manually, or using SOFTPRO's unique automatic combo-verification to provide a high level of trustworthiness.
  • The integrity of the signature and the document is secured using state-of-the art technologies for encryption and and integrity protection.
A dynamic signature captured and embedded with SignDoc looks identical in all respects to a person’s original wet ink signature. However, it is much more than just an electronic image. The signature contains biometric information about how the signature was signed such as speed, patterns, habits, and pressure of pen strokes. These characteristics represent a biometric footprint which is unique to every individual and can not be reproduced by a forger.

Dynamic signatures also offer some of the best biometrics with respect to uniqueness and repeatability thus sealing your transactions in a secure manner and removing any question as to the identity of the signer.

SignDoc is based on the SignWare Software Development Kit which includes SOFTPRO's unique signature combo-verification. It compares both the static image characteristics and dynamic signals to a known reference signature. The verification automatically takes into account the natural variations in the signer's signature characteristics so that the capture and verification is effective in any situation. If the character set is not within a certain tolerance level, the signature has highly likely been forged.

In the absence of dynamic signature parameters, static features may be used for comparison. Static technology has been successfully user for more than a decade in financial institutions worldwide.

This allows smooth transition from the paper to the electronic world.
