InkPaper.ai - For remote global teams
Most of the online legal papers signing solutions provide secure electronic signatures, it is entirely different from the digital signatures. An electronic signature is ideally a scanned image of a handwritten signature, but a digital signature uses mathematical algorithms to prove the authenticity. All such document signing platforms allow its users to sign documents securely and also provide cloud storage for the signed documents.
Blockchain technology can enter the document signing industry by creating timestamps and allowing multiple signatures. By using private keys between the recipient and the signer - documents can be managed securely by approved parties.
Why Blockchain for Document Signing?
Blockchain technology allows the linking of a group of records referred to as blocks into a chain. This chain is protected and encrypted against tampering. Blockchain uses the concept of hash which acts as a fingerprint for every block. Each time a block is added to the chain, a corresponding hash gets generated for it. Tampering with any of the already created blocks would cause the hash address to get changed.
A hash is calculated for the original version of the PDF file, doc or Docx file and the value already stored in the blockchain. The authorized party can verify their copy of the document is legitimate by matching their version’s hash with that of the original version’s hash stored in the blockchain.
When there is a requirement of multiple copies with different signatures, all the parties can use the blockchain document signing platform to view the timestamps associated with the document. Blockchain can save an accurate timestamp and the identity of the person who signed the document. So, it becomes possible for multiple parties to sign a document through a legally and secure binding process.
