Implementing Multi‑Factor Authentication for Zero‑Trust eSignatures
An email link can show where a document was sent, but it does not always prove who actually signed it. A signature without authentication introduces uncertainty and weakens document security. Implementing signer authentication enhances trust by verifying the signer’s identity and ensuring signatures are legally valid and securely executed.
