Any question over the authenticity of a document received, or even a rejection of the document as evidence in the event of litigation, could have a very significant legal, operational and financial impact on company or public organizations.
For this reason, trust policies are being implemented. These make it possible to set different levels of electronic signatures and/or seals for each incoming document.
However, not all co-workers are able to assess whether documents meet the requirements defined in the trust policies and if the signatures were valid at the time they were affixed.
