MFA (SMS / Authenticator)

Multi-factor Authentication

MFA via SMS or Authenticator App

Multi-Factor Authentication is a security mechanism that requires Secured Signing users to provide multiple forms of authentication before granting access to their accounts. 

MFA helps increase the security authentication process by making it more difficult for unauthorized users to gain access. 

Secured Signing users can choose between two authentication types:
SMS or via an Authenticator App

By requiring multiple forms or authentication, Secured Signing helps user protect their account against unauthorised access, particularly in cases where passwords are stolen or compromised.

SMS Authentication

SMS Authentication

Worried of sending documents to the wrong invitee?

Secured Signing’s SMS authentication is a two-way authentication type that involves the Invitee’s email address and a one-time code sent via SMS to verify
the identity of the user.

SMS authentication feature is commonly used as an additional layer of security for signing digitally. This way users can guarantee that the correct invitee will receive the signing invitation and ensure that only authorized users are able to access
the document.

When choosing the SMS authentication type: invitees will receive two notifications: an email and SMS, once the blue button’s been clicked it will trigger a SMS
including a 6-digit passcode to access the document.

Needs to View (process without signature)

Secure Document Workflows Just Got Smarter with "Needs to View"

Secured Signing is excited to introduce a powerful enhancement to our document workflow: the new “Needs to View” invitee type.

This innovative feature allows you to require individuals to open and view a document without needing to provide a signature. It’s perfect for stakeholders who need to be informed as part of a formal process, ensuring they acknowledge content without needing to sign off.

Needs to View - Add Invitee

For added security and control, “Needs to View” invitees can be assigned the same advanced authentication methods available to signers, including passcode, Knowledge-Based Authentication (KBA), Identity Verification (IDV), and SMS.

This means you can be confident that only authorized individuals are accessing your sensitive documents.

This new flexibility empowers you to create more sophisticated workflows. You can now effortlessly combine both “Signer” and “Needs to View” invitee types within a single document or a package of documents.

For example, an individual could be a signer on one document and a viewer on another, all within the same seamless transaction.

Knowledge Base Authentication (KBA)

Knowledge Base Authentication (KBA)

Currently available for US customers only.

Knowledge-based authentication (KBA) is a security measure to verify the identity of the users before the RON meeting. 

Ask the signer a series of questions about their identity and personal history and checks against a database automatically. Signer must answer at least 80% of the questions correctly to proceed.

If they fail they can’t take the Q&A again with the same Notary within 24 hours.

PKI Digital Signature

PKI Digital Signature

Secured Signing uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide the highest level of security and authenticity for digital signatures. PKI is a trusted method that ensures only the correct signer can sign a document, and once signed, the document can’t be changed without breaking the signature.

At the heart of the PKI system are two cryptographic keys:

  • A public key, which is available to everyone and used to encrypt data

  • A private key, which is known only to the signer and must be kept secure

Generating PKI

How PKI Ensures Secure, Tamper-Proof Digital Signatures and Trusted Authorship

The magic of PKI lies in the unique connection between these two keys. A message or document encrypted with the public key can only be decrypted by the matching private key and vice versa. This guarantees that only the intended recipient or signer can access the content or authorize the signature.

When you sign a document with your private key through Secured Signing, the system creates a tamper-proof digital fingerprint of that document. If anyone attempts to change the document after it’s signed, the signature will immediately become invalid. This not only protects the integrity of the document but also provides unquestionable proof of authorship and consent.

Using PKI-based digital signatures also ensures secure end-to-end communication, meaning only the sender and the intended recipient can access or act on the document. This level of security is essential for industries that handle sensitive data, such as legal, financial, government, and healthcare sectors.

 

By choosing Secured Signing’s PKI digital signature solution, you’re choosing:

Full compliance with global e-signature laws and regulations

Unmatched data protection and signer verification

Tamper-evident documents for peace of mind
