Signatures

Signatures allow you to sign some text, a link or any information on behalf of your organization. The snippet is hashed with salt multiple times and signed with the organization's private key. A signature link is then generated which you can share or post online for others to view.

Signature modal

  • The Prefill link checkbox lets you add a query string to the URL that is picked up when the signature link is opened, automatically filling the signatue body (plaintext) and submitting. This removes the privacy of what is signed but speeds up the signature verification process as there is no action expected from the receiver.

Everytime you create a signature, a history record about it is saved to allow some traceabilty, even if it is expired or deleted.

The signature body (plaintext) is never persisted or sent to our servers, only metadata as seen in the columns below.
