But... Then you can literally just copy it. I don't really understand how signatures are still a thing, but this...
- tbcj 9y agoI would keep in mind that most disputes are not of the "I never signed this" variety. Even companies like DocuSign acknowledge that fact: "DocuSign electronic signatures have never been successfully repudiated or challenged in any court."
- sndr_srq2 9y agoWe keep track of lot of meta-data. Ip adress, email verification, bank account verification, telephone verification. It's up to the user to decide how secure they want to have the process.
- tokenizerrr 9y agoIt says legally binding, so I assume I can just print the result and use it in court. How does that work?
- sndr_srq2 9y agoTry signing a demo document. You will receive the signed document. including a signing log with all the extra meta data. We can verify that data based on the hash of the document, if needed.

- cyphar 9y agoWell, you can also forge a regular signature. In proper legal contexts, you need a witness to a signature (which is a justice-of-peace or similarly trusted party in Australia) who will check your identification and witness you signing the document. Signatures are more of a ceremonial thing at this point, they just are used to signify that at the time you agree with a document. If you dispute the validity of a signature, it becomes a forensic investigation (which would also apply for electronic signatures I imagine -- ignoring that digital forensics is such a bad science). Scanned copies of passports are also seen as sufficient ID in some contexts (though they should be notarised copies, very few online services require that). And that's even worse becase the person getting the copy could just impersonate you with it.
