As more and more people are working remotely, the need for secure digital signatures is increasing. One of the ways to make digital signatures more secure is by using a physical smartpen that encrypts data and confirms the ID of the person holding the pen. ID confirmation might be done by requiring the users to input their fingerprints before it will allow them to sign a document. Alternatively, the new smartpen may use iris/face recognition technology to confirm the identity of the person holding the pen. The other solution is to compare the hand movements with encrypted pre-saved patterns that are available on the pen’s memory or securely available on a blockchain network. However, these smartpens should be designed in a way that users can easily pair them with their different devices using standard connection technologies such as Bluetooth or Wifi.
Cybersecurity is becoming increasingly important in our increasingly digital world. The use of smartpens that can encrypt data and confirm the ID of the person holding the pen is one way to help make digital signatures more secure. This would make it more difficult for someone to forge a signature and would help to protect documents from being tampered with or forged.
