Digital Signatures White Papers

Digital Ink Signatures - Concepts and Technologies

Overview The Tablet PC is the premier tool for digital forms-based data collection processes. In addition to providing the means to collect, validate, and store data, digital forms often must support some degree of authentication. One of the oldest methods of authentication is pen-based signatures - from the feather quill pen of old to the digital stylus of today, people have been using written signatures to indicate their intentions or approval for thousands of years. This paper discusses concepts and practices related to pen-based signatures on the Tablet PC. The collection, preservation, and protection of electronic signatures created with a digital pen in Tablet PC applications is a new frontier.
