Secure Signatures with SureDocs

In Armstrong, we're introducing a more secure signing method that incorporates not just the signature you're used to seeing, but an extra level of security in authentication. To make that work, we have to first get past the idea of "digital signatures" as we're familiar with them today. Traditional digital signatures are just pictures of the ink you put on paper.

Unlike digital signatures, e-signatures have nothing to do with that picture. They're an electronic method by which you can verify that the person doing the signing has proven who they are and that their signature is only valid in hand with the document it's attached to. They're easy to identify as fraudulent if they're attached to a document they shouldn't be, because the data associated with the report won't match what was recorded at the time of signature.

With SureDocs signing in Armstrong, you'll go through a one-time setup session that identifies you and proves that you're really you. Once you've done that, you'll use your password and digital key to sign your appraisal reports. Then, we'll store a snapshot of the key report data along with a link to your credentials on our secure servers. The report receipient can then authenticate the final report they receive against the escrowed data, thus proving the report is genuine!  To learn more about SureDocs secure signing in Armstong, click here.
