Do you upload your signature when you shop online?
I've had to fill out a few forms requiring signatures at work and am rarely asked to provide a physical copy. I don't always have the means to use the "something I have and something I know" method and printing something, signing it and rescanning it back is just tedious.
Instead, either Adobe or OSX - I'm not sure which - offers to generate a signature for you. Signatures don't really have inherent value anyway, but I think it's funny that this is even more meaningless since the system is just generating what it thinks yours should be. Also, I haven't really experimented but I would be surprised if the signature is unique.
You can sign with a mouse or touchpad but those results always look less like my actual signature than the generated one does.
Yeah, signature-based security is good in theory but is obviously heavily flawed.
When i have to "sign" online documents all I'm required to do is click a checkbox. lol
My first day at a job where I had to send a lot of legal letters, they showed us how to scan a signature in and make a transparent template of it to use on the computer. The attorneys I worked with all acknowledged that while it wouldn’t be a good idea to attach it to any threats or anything, the e-signature probably wouldn’t actually stand up in court as a real signature. And yet, we all still learned and used those signatures on all of our letters.
