Abstract:
Due diligence of mortgage documents is faster and simpler. An electronic mortgage application often contains or references a collection of many separate electronic mortgage documents. Electronic data representing an original version of an electronic mortgage document and its current version may be hashed to generate digital signatures. Any auditor may then quickly conduct the due diligence by comparing the digital signatures. If the digital signatures match, then the due diligence reveals that the electronic mortgage document has not changed since its creation. However, if the digital signatures do not match, then the electronic mortgage document has changed since its creation. The auditor may thus flag the electronic mortgage document for additional due diligence. Regardless, a result of the due diligence may be incorporated into one or more blockchains.
