Enable security features

The option “Enable security features” provides additional authentications to make the signer identification more robust.



Require '1 - factor authentication' before document preview

Enabling this security feature ensures that an invitee signing a document goes through an OTP authentication through their Email ID or Phone Number (either can be configured while sending the document) before being able to view the document. This adds a layer of security to safeguard your documents in case of mistaken forwarding of signing invitations to the wrong parties.


 Require '2 - factor authentication' before document preview

Enabling this security feature ensures that the invitee signing a document goes through an OTP authentication through their Email ID and Phone Number ( both have to be configured while sending the document) before being able to view the document. This adds a layer of security to safeguard your documents in case of mistaken forwarding of signing invitations to the wrong parties.

 

There are 2 scenario’s in case of a 2-factor authentication:


  1. Link accessed via email/phone number - In case the signing link is accessed via:

    1. Invitee Email - Leegality will count that as an authentication in itself and the user will only have to carry out the OTP authentication for the mobile number

    2. Invitee Phone Number - Leegality will count that as an authentication in itself and the user will only have to carry out the OTP authentication for the email .

  2. Link accessed via other any other source - In this case 2 OTP authentications will be carried out. 1 for each Email and Phone Number.


Enabling this security feature, a link to the raw pdf document will be sent in all the OTP verification email’s/messages.




Capture GPS location

If the security feature “Capture GPS location” is enabled, the signers will need to allow access to their location coordinates before being permitted to sign the document. The GPS coordinates captured will be reflected in the audit trail.

Activating Capture GPS location

Once the document is created or during the creation of workflow, on the invitee configuration page click on “invitee level options”, under more options toggle on “Enable security features” and then toggle on “Capture GPS location”




Signing Journey of Capture GPS location

Note: Signer has to give the location access to the browser for capturing GPS location while signing the document.


Note: Geotagging works with high accuracy on mobiles and tablets as they have the required hardware receiver instrument for GPS capture. Laptops and Desktops will not give high accurate GPS location.

Capture Photo with Face Match

This feature aims to enhance security by incorporating facial recognition technology. It’s a reliable method to verify the identity of the signers  by matching a captured face image with a previously uploaded face verification/identity document. This will ensure that the intended recipient is conducting the signing.

Activating Face Match

In Department level settings, toggle on ‘Face Match Verification’ under Invitee configurations. 

  1. You can set a threshold percentage for successful facial matching results. By default, this threshold will be set at 85%. 
  2. Following are the two acceptance condition offerings:
  1. Reject if failed -  The signing journey will be halted, and an error screen will be displayed if the Face Match process fails.
  2.  Accept but respond with results - Allows the signer to continue with the signing journey despite a failed Face Match, but the failure result will be displayed to the client on the Details page of the dashboard.

Sending Journey



Step 1: Once the document is created or during the creation of workflow, on the invitee configuration page click on ‘Invitee level options’, toggle on ‘Capture Photo’, and then ‘Face Match’.

Step 2: When Face Match is enabled, the sender will have to upload an image for reference. This image will be of the signer but might contain identity documents like PAN Card, Aadhaar Card, Onboarding forms, etc. Senders should ideally mask/crop the document around the face and upload only facial data. Also, set the number of retry attempts for face capture by the signer. 




Group Invitee 

When Face Match is enabled for group invitees, a list with upload buttons will be displayed in the side panel, allowing users to add Face Match images for all invitees in the group.
Retry attempts can be set for the entire group via the retry dropdown list.



Running Workflow

Face Match toggle can be activated, and retry attempts can be configured during the workflow creation process. However, the photo must be uploaded when running the workflow. The ‘Upload Photo’ button will be disabled while creating the workflow itself.
