Abstract
A method for biometry based signing of documents. In an embodiment, the method includes receiving, on a terminal, a signature request associated to a document from a requester, and displaying the document to the user on the user terminal. The process also includes requesting at least once a biometric identification of the user to create at least one signing receipt, associating the signing receipt to the document, and transmitting the document and/or the signing receipt from the user terminal to the requester.
Claims12
A method for biometric based signing of documents comprising:
- receiving, by a user terminal via an authentication platform from a requestor, a signature request associated to a document, the signature request comprising preferences defining a combination of at least one portion of the document to present for a minimum document presentation time and at least two signing positions, and further comprising a type of biometric signing required for valid signing of the document;
- displaying, by the user terminal on a display, a first portion of the document to a user for the minimum document presentation time;
- presenting, by the user terminal on the display, a request for the type of biometric signing based on the preferences to associate with the first portion of the document;
- matching, by the user terminal in response to the request for the type of biometric signing, biometric samples provided by the user to a biometric template created during an enrollment process;
- repeating, by the user terminal, the displaying, presenting and matching steps for at least a second signing position based on the preferences;
- determining, by the user terminal, that the preferences associated with the biometric signature requests have been satisfied;
- creating, by the user terminal, at least one signing receipt;
- associating, by the user terminal, the at least one signing receipt to the document;
- and
- transmitting, by the user terminal via the authentication platform to the requestor, at least one of the document and the signing receipt confirming successful signing of the document.
