Simple signature or strengthened signature with OTP

SMS OTP transforms a simple electronic signature into a more secure and legally valid signature because:

1. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): OTP introduces a second authentication factor to ascertain the signatory.

2. Provides stronger proof that the person signing is the owner of the associated phone and, therefore, presumably the person intending to sign.

3. Makes repudiation more difficult: combining the electronic signature with a unique and temporary OTP code, sent to a phone number presumably controlled by the signatory, makes it much more difficult to challenge the validity of the signature.

4. Increases compliance: although a simple electronic signature with SMS OTP does not reach the level of a qualified signature (which requires qualified and certified devices), adding OTP as a strong authentication method makes it more robust and reliable than a simple electronic signature without this additional level of security.

ADVANTAGES OF SIMPLE SIGNATURE WITH OTP

Operational efficiency
Simple electronic signatures with OTP eliminate manual steps, allowing you to speed up document workflows. They guarantee a 50% time saving compared to manual signatures.

**Security of signed documents
**Ensuring the security of sensitive contracts and information is essential. SMS OTP authentication adds an additional layer of verification of the signatory's identity, reducing the risk of fraud and unauthorized access.

**Legal compliance
**Choosing a simple electronic signature that is compliant with eIDAS, ETSI and GDPR ensures that electronically signed documents are legally valid and binding.

**Cost reduction
**Eliminating the need for paper, ink, shipping and physical storage space results in significant cost savings.

**Flexible and efficient work
**The ability to sign documents online, from any device and location, expands the user base, eliminates the need for physical meetings and allows you to operate more flexibly and efficiently.
