ABSTRACT:
A system and method for embedding a written signature into a secure electronic document is disclosed. The method includes forming a placeholder electronic document containing content to be attested to by a signature. A signing individual can be selected from a signer list. A signature tag can be placed into the placeholder electronic document at a selected signature location. The signature tag is associated with the signing individual and defines the signature location for the signing individual to sign. The placeholder electronic document can be secured to form a secure electronic document having content configured to be uneditable. A signature can be captured with a signature capture device configured to enable the signing individual to write the signature to be embedded into the secure electronic document at the location indicated by the signature tag to mimic a real world experience of signing paper documents.
