Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing an electronic signature service where the content of an electronic document to be signed remains unknown to the service. A sender of the electronic document negotiates a specification for encoding the electronic document. In particular, the specification does not include any content of the electronic document. In this manner, the content of the electronic document can be encrypted and securely transmitted between the sender and the signer via the electronic signature service using one or more data packets conforming to the specification without permitting the electronic signature service to read or otherwise decipher the content. The specification enables the electronic signature service to certify that the signer has received the electronic document and assented to its terms. Further, the specification enables the electronic signature service to perform authentication and transaction logging operations associated with obtaining an electronically signed version of the electronic document.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic signature service automatically updates electronic documents to prevent execution by an unauthorized signatory. The electronic signature service can receive an electronic document to be electronically signed on behalf of an organization. The electronic signature service can retrieve organization data indicative of signatories that are authorized to electronically sign the electronic document. The organization data may be inaccessible to a first signatory that is associated with the document. The electronic signature service can determine from the organization data that the first signatory is not authorized to electronically sign the document. The electronic signature service can update the electronic document with a second signatory that is determined from the organization data as being authorized to execute the document. The electronic signature service can prevent the first signatory from executing the document and provide access to the electronic document by a computing device associated with the second signatory.

Abstract: Techniques for generating and enforcing document visibility rights associated with a document in use with an electronic signature service are described. Consistent with embodiments of the invention, document visibility rights can be established for each person designated to sign and/or receive a copy of a document, and on a per-page, per-document section, or per-source document basis. Additionally, visibility rights may be conditional, such that various events (including the signing of a document) may modify visibility rights making a previously un-viewable page or document section viewable to a particular person.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a document according to attestation requirements are provided. A method determines attestation requirements for electronically signing an electronic document. The method modifies the document based in part on the requirements, and then provides the modified document to users requested to electronically sign the document, wherein the users are only permitted to electronically sign the document in circumstances satisfying the requirements. An electronic signature service can generate a document whose signing needs to be witnessed and/or recorded according to attestation requirements. The document may be associated with number of signers. The electronic signature service may determine one or more witnesses of the signers and may determine applicable attestation requirements based on the witnesses, the signers, and the document. Further, the electronic signature service may record proceedings associated with collecting signatures for the document and record and/or pause a workflow associated with the document to meet the applicable requirements.

Abstract: An electronic document signature system preserves the security of an electronic document while tracking a signature process corresponding to the electronic document. In particular, using a client application on a client device, an originating user can protect an electronic document and send the protected electronic document to a tracking server. The tracking server receives only a protected document such that the security the electronic document is preserved. Using a client applications on client devices, one or more participating users can subsequently receive the protected document from the tracking server, access the contents of the electronic document, and sign the electronic document. The tracking server can record events that occur with respect to the protected document to create an event log.

Abstract: Techniques for generating a document according to location-specific and other requirements may be provided. For example, an electronic signature service may be executed by a computing device to provide a service for generating a document that meets various location-specific and other requirements. The documents may be associated with number of users. The electronic signature service may determine locations of the users and may determine applicable requirements based on the users and the locations. Further, the electronic signature service may modify the document and/or a workflow associated with the document to meet the applicable requirements.

Abstract: In some embodiments, an electronic signature service receives a document to be electronically signed on behalf of an organization. The electronic signature service automatically determines at least one authorized signatory from the organization for executing the received document. The authorized signatory is determined from data describing an organizational structure and signature authorities for the organization. The electronic signature service electronically provides the document to the authorized signatory via a data network.
