Enterprise E-Signature Architecture

Features Engineered for Legal Certainty

Every component in SignExact is built to eliminate ambiguity, provide non-repudiation, and uphold federal and state statutory standards.

Sub-Millimeter 72-DPI Coordinate Translation

Most e-signature web tools use browser DOM pixels for field placement, causing stamps to drift or distort when converted to PDF pages. SignExact solves this with a mathematical coordinate translation engine:

  • Translates browser viewport coordinates directly into 72-DPI PostScript points.
  • Inverts web top-left origins into true PDF bottom-left cartesian coordinates.
  • Supports signatures, dates, initials, full legal names, and multi-line typing fields.

// Web Input (Viewport Box):
{ x: 120, y: 350, width: 180, height: 50 }
// Translated PDF 72-DPI Coordinate:
{ pdfX: 91.80, pdfY: 486.00, pdfW: 137.70, pdfH: 38.25 }
// Roundtrip Variance: ±0.00 pt

Tamper-Evident SHA-256 Hash Chaining

Generic e-sign tools store event logs in private database tables that can be modified or purged. SignExact applies cryptographic blockchain-style chaining to every event record:

  • Genesis hash computed upon initial PDF upload: sha256(envelopeId + '-GENESIS').
  • Every subsequent action hashes the previous hash, timestamp, actor email, IP address, and details.
  • Mathematical impossibility of retroactively modifying any history row without breaking the chain.

Self-Authenticating Completion Certificates

When all signers finish, SignExact appends a 2-page forensic Certificate of Completion directly to the signed document. This creates a self-contained, standalone record that courts and counterparties can verify without accessing SignExact servers.

  • Forensic IP address, timestamp, and browser user-agent attribution.
  • Permanent statutory ESIGN § 7003 disclaimer language.
  • Complete SHA-256 audit ledger sequence printed directly on the certificate.
