  1. Document Preparation: The process begins when a document is prepared for signing. This could be a contract, an agreement, vacation request, or any other type of document that requires a signature.

  2. User Authentication: Before a user can sign a document digitally, they must be authenticated. This ensures that the person signing the document is who they claim to be. Authentication methods can vary, but they often include passwords, PINs, biometrics, or even multi-factor authentication.

  4. Attaching the Signature: The digital signature is then attached to the document, or it can be stored as a separate file.

  5. Timestamping and Additional Features: Some digital signature solutions, like EvroTrust, might also provide timestamping services.
