In other words, an electronic signature is a feature that allows digital recording of activities or documents in order to keep in track editions, secure a document that\u2019s only available to specific users or certificate an assistance, the course taken or to give acknowledgment of information received.<\/p>\n<p>Now applying this to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\"><b>Learning Management Software<\/b><\/a>, an <b>e-signature<\/b> works as a really useful feature because it helps to organize, keep records, assign tasks to specific people and make sure that person needs to be registered and sign properly before or after seeing or editing a document or taking a course.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say for example you have a total of 50 students <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/best-lms-for-customer-training\/\"><b>training<\/b> <\/a>in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/lms-ecommerce-integration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">current course<\/a>. When they take the course and have learned the lesson you are probably going to want them to give acknowledgment of it. This for multiple purposes such as certifying that the <b>LMS<\/b> course was taken and the student signed to record it; It can also be used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/blog\/online-learners-2020\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">take the next level of a course<\/a> or, for example, in a situation where you need to keep track of people who attend a forum, a webinar or read a communication. The <b>e-signature<\/b> developed by Paradiso allows you to digitize your signature to do all the above and keep <b>electronic records<\/b> safe and secure for future occasions when you need to authenticate a situation, action or information.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8628&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The <b>E-signature<\/b> helps, in terms of security, to restrict changes on the <b>training <\/b>material when it is attached to an electronic signature.

This also applies to the signer. The Party ID is a unique numeric identifier that is associated with a signer of a particular document designed to identify him.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Digital Fingerprint Checksum<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Digital Fingerprint for the E-Signature enhances audit trail security by reducing vulnerabilities, including exposure to browser fingerprinting. The fingerprint is comprised of a series of events and data that is associated with the party\u2019s digital signature that was used to eSign their document.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a document has been signed a barcode gets generated in the Signature Audit Trail. The Digital Fingerprint barcode contains the unique checksum ID (which is a text and numeric string combination) that makes up the signers unique signature fingerprint.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fingerprint is generated each time a document is loaded. This helps protect you the document creator, as well as your signer\u2019s from any malicious intent to manipulate the terms of an electronically signed contract.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Digital Fingerprint Barcode<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have access to a smartphone, tablet, or computer, you can use either a barcode reader app or a web-based <a href=\"https:\/\/qrscanner.net\/barcode-scanner\">barcode scanner<\/a>. With a barcode reader, you will be able to scan the digital fingerprint ID. Scanning the barcode should return the text and numeric value of the digital fingerprint (on your smartphone or tablet device) as it is printed in the audit trail.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8632&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8633&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]If the multi-factor digital checksum fingerprint that is listed in your document doesn\u2019t match the text and numeric string that is returned when scanning the barcode then you might have reason to suspect the authenticity of the document. Paradiso E-Signature scanned barcode results should match the same fingerprint checksum that is generated on your document.<\/p>\n<p>Try our free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.paradisosolutions.com\/learning-management-system\/education-lms\"><b>LMS<\/b><\/a> to experience this<b> feature<\/b> and much more to help you learn and teach faster, easier and secure.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221;
