Reply #6: Re authenticating signatures only

[mdredmond]

There is a difference. Authenticating the signature only determines whether the signature itself matches other signature samples from the same person. It (a) does not determine whether the signature was 'copied and pasted' onto the document, and (b) does not authenticate the contents of the document.

Without authenticating both the signature and the document, what the document says is irrelevant. I think that is the argument most are using against the documents - and for the most part I agree with it. I don't think CBS did their homework on this one. Just my $.02
