Signature Verification

Signature verification allows you to confirm the authenticity and integrity of any electronic signature in the system. The verification process checks the cryptographic integrity of the signature, confirms the signer’s identity, and provides a complete audit trail.

Verifying a Signature

To verify a signature:

1. Navigate to Signatures from the main menu
2. Find the signature you want to verify in the list
3. Click the Verify button to open the verification page
4. Review the signature information
5. For completed signatures, click Perform Detailed Verification to open the verification modal

Signature Information

The verification page displays the following details:

Field	Description
Document Title	The signature meaning or document name
Status	Whether the signature is Signed (valid) or Pending
Resource Type	The type of record that was signed
Action	The action that was performed (e.g., approve, acknowledge)
Requested Date	When the signature was originally requested
Requested By	The full name of the user who owns the signature

Signature Status Checks

For completed signatures, the verification page displays three integrity checks:

Check	Description
Digital signature is valid	Confirms the cryptographic signature has not been altered
Timestamp integrity confirmed	Confirms the timestamp has not been modified
User authentication verified	Confirms the signer was properly authenticated at the time of signing

Note

Detailed verification is only available for signatures that have been provided. For pending signatures, the page displays a notice that verification will be available once the signature is completed.

Detailed Verification Modal

Clicking Perform Detailed Verification opens a modal that provides a comprehensive breakdown of the signature record.

Signature Integrity

The modal displays the overall integrity status with a visual indicator:

• Green indicator — Signature integrity is valid
• Red indicator — Signature integrity check failed

A description confirms that cryptographic checksum verification ensures the signature has not been tampered with.

Signature Details

Detail	Description
Resource Type	The type of resource that was signed
Resource ID	The identifier of the specific resource
Action	The action associated with the signature
Created At	The exact date and time the signature was created
Signature Meaning	The stated purpose or meaning of the signature

Signer Information

Detail	Description
Name	The full name of the signer
Email	The email address of the signer

Technical Details

The following technical information is captured for audit purposes:

Detail	Description
IP Address	The IP address from which the signature was provided
User Agent	The browser and operating system used during signing

Verification Summary

The modal concludes with a verification summary showing the status of three checks:

1. Signature integrity — Whether the cryptographic checksum is valid
2. Signer identity — Whether the signer’s identity has been verified
3. Audit trail — Whether the audit trail is complete

Each check displays a green or red indicator based on its result.

Audit Trail Compliance

The verification system supports regulatory compliance by maintaining:

• A tamper-proof record of who signed, when, and from where
• Cryptographic integrity verification to detect any modifications
• Complete signer identity information linked to authenticated user accounts
• Technical metadata (IP address, user agent) for forensic purposes

Tip

Use the verification feature whenever you need to confirm the authenticity of a signature for audit purposes or regulatory review. The detailed verification modal provides all the information required by most regulatory frameworks.
