An essential part of any secure e-signature solution, user authentication can be established by user ID and password, biometrics or digital certificates issued and managed through a PKI. The choice of authentication method depends on usability, cost and the risk level of the process being automated.

Organizations that have chosen Entrust Authority™ PKI have made significant investments in encryption, digital signature and authentication capabilities. PKI-enabled applications such as e-signatures can be added to maximize return on investment.

When someone signs a document or form electronically using ApproveIt Desktop, this action secures the data, embedding a permanent audit trail within the document and ensuring that any subsequent, unauthorized changes visibly invalidate the e-signature. The Entrust PKI user's digital certificate automatically becomes part of this crucial audit trail, establishing a link between the user, the signed data and the signer's demonstration of intent.

As a result, the combination of Silanis' e-signature solution and strong user authentication from Entrust creates the secure legal evidence required for certain higher-risk business processes.
