Authentication refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user or a system. In the context of e-signing, it ensures that the person signing a document is, in fact, who they claim to be. This is a crucial step in maintaining the integrity and legality of digital signatures and documents.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Password-Based | Users must enter a password or a PIN to access and sign documents. |
| Email-Based | A verification link is sent to the user’s email address. Access is granted only when the link is clicked. |
| SMS-Based | A code is sent via SMS to the user's mobile phone, and they must enter this code to proceed with signing. |
| Knowledge-Based (KBA) | Users are asked to answer security questions based on their personal information, such as previous addresses or the names of relatives. |
| Biometric | This includes fingerprints, facial recognition, or other biometric data to ensure the signer’s identity. |
