To Execute
To execute is to complete (as a legal instrument); to perform what is required, or give validity to by signing and perhaps sealing and delivering.
Electronic or Digital Signature
- Stylus pads
- Biometrics
- Fingerprint scans
- Encryption keys
- Smart cards
Authentication: Digital certificates are encrypted with coding that only the issuer of the key can read. An electronic signature is superior to an ink and paper signature as it confirms the document and identifies the signer. Generally, there is no way to take a signature and affix it to another statement. A change in a signed document causes the electronic signature verification process to fail.
Using an e-certificate or ID confirmed by a third party provider, a party has the ability to e-sign documents and e-mails, confirming that the e-document has come from only the intended party and has not been altered.
