Electronic Signatures Backed by Blockchain

• Not all electronic signature services are created equal, and no one wants to question the integrity of their digitally-signed documents.
• With jSign, every action taken with a document is logged and timestamped using blockchain – a more secure database technology - which helps prevent fraud, false signatures, or other types of tampering.

Why Use Blockchain for Digital Document Signing?

• Auditing & Tracking: Every step of the signing process is tracked and timestamped using blockchain, creating a record of activity that is the perfect audit trail.
• Fraud Prevention: Because blockchain data can’t be modified, records stored in blockchain can’t be changed or tampered with.
• Security: With blockchain, data isn’t stored in one centralized location, which makes it more difficult to hack.

What is an Electronic Signature?

• An electronic signature, sometimes called an e-signature, is a legally binding method of signing contracts, documents, and other paperwork right from your computer. It eliminates the wasted time and resources needed to print a document, sign it by hand, and then re-scan it to send it back. Or even worse — to wait for it to be signed and mailed back. In today’s busy world, who has that kind of time?
• When you get documents signed with jSign, the process becomes automated and tracked, making for a smooth and simplified workflow.

How is an E-signature Better Than a Traditional Signature?

• Faster: Clients and colleagues can sign documents and return them much faster than manual signatures, aka "wet" signatures. Plus, with jSign, you’ll get an automatic email the moment the document is executed. No waiting for a manual email, fax, or post.
• Cheaper: Electronic signature software saves money on postage, printing, and toner by letting you sign right on your screen.
• More Efficient: Sign your documents and return them all in one Dashboard with no extra steps. Automatically remind colleagues that they have a document to sign, and free up your team for more urgent work!

What is a Certificate of Completion?

• Think of a Certificate of Completion as a virtual receipt for an electronic signature. If things get messy, this detailed PDF can keep you out of legal trouble down the road.
• But jSign’s Certificate of Completion is so much more than your typical e-receipt. On top of providing proof of signing and guaranteeing the validity of the document and its signature, the blockchain-based technology contains:
• In-depth Document Information - Each Certificate of Completion contains a unique Document ID and a variety of additional document-specific details like total pages, total number of signers, and a complete document history.
• Blockchain-based Timestamping - Blockchain tracks every stage of the online signature process, from document creation to signing—and it doesn’t stop there. Each receipt contains a unique Block ID and timestamp to give you even more peace of mind.
• A Unique QR Code - jSign’s QR code technology allows you to instantly verify whether your document has been altered after it was signed. It also gives you immediate access to your document’s history.
• And Much, Much More - Need additional details like a signer’s latitude and longitude? Our Certificate of Completion has that too. It even allows you to see the IP address of the signer, what browser they used, and from what device they signed.
