Evidentiary Standard

Court Admissible Audit Trail

In legal disputes, proving the validity of a signature requires demonstrating who signed, when they signed, and that the document was not altered after signing. eZy Sign automatically generates a tamper-evident audit log for every transaction.

Signer Identity & Authentication

Every signer verifies their identity before signing via email validation, SMS one-time passcodes, knowledge-based authentication, or government ID verification.

Cryptographic Time-Stamping

Every view, consent, initial, signature, and approval action is stamped with an immutable UTC timestamp and network IP record.

Tamper-Evident SHA-256 Hashing

Each executed document is cryptographically sealed with a unique hash. Any subsequent alteration invalidates the digital seal immediately.

Certificate of Completion

A comprehensive legal audit certificate is automatically appended to each executed document, outlining complete event history and signer details.

4 Essential Pillars of a Defensible eSignature

Intent to Sign: Signers explicitly demonstrate their intention to sign by drawing, typing, or uploading their signature and clicking to confirm.

Consent to Do Business Electronically: All signers provide affirmative digital consent to conduct transactions electronically prior to executing agreements.

Clear Signature Attribution: Direct association between the verified signer, their biometric/typed mark, and the exact timestamp and IP address.

Document Integrity & Retention: Digital cryptographic hash seals prevent document modification after signature and guarantee long-term retention of records.
