 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
1.1.E SIGNATURE
A electrical signature is an authentication mechanism that enables the creator of the
message to attach a code that acts as a signature.the digital algorithm(DSA),developed by
the national institution of standards and technology,is one of many examples of a signing
algorithm.

A mathematical algorithm routinely used to validate the authenticity and integrity of a

message.An electronic signature, or e-signature, refers to data in electronic form, which is
logically associated with other data in electronic form and which is used by the signatory
to sign.This type of signature has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature as
long as it adheres to the requirements of the specific regulation under which it was
created (e.g., eIDAS in the European Union, NIST-DSS in the USA or ZertES in
Switzerland).Electronic signatures are a legal concept distinct from digital signatures,a
cryptographic mechanism often used to implement electronic signatures. While an
electronic signature can be as simple as a name entered in an electronic document, digital
signatures are increasingly used in e-commerce and in regulatory filings to implement
electronic signatures in a cryptographically protected way. Standardization agencies like
NIST or ETSI provide standards for their implementation (e.g., NIST-DSS, XAdES or
PAdES). The concept itself is not new, with common law jurisdictions having recognized
telegraph signatures as far back as the mid-19th century and faxed signatures since the
1980s.
1.2 E SIGNATURE IN COVID-19

Administration (FDA) updated its guidance regarding informed consent for clinical
trials during the coronavirus public health emergency to add information about electronic
signatures for informed consent, and to provide clarification about remote assessments
during clinical trials.

In its announcement regarding the updates, FDA said that it issued the guidance
“because we recognize that the COVID-19 public health emergency may impact the
conduct of clinical trials of medical products.” Recognizing that protocol deviations may
be unavoidable because of changes happening in the wake of the pandemic, FDA’s
guidance now includes a new question-and-answer (Q&A) item addressing 21 CFR part
11 compliance for the electronic systems used to generate electronic signatures for
records of clinical trials.

“To minimize potential bias resulting from verbal administration of… assessments,
sponsors should ensure interviewer training and use of an interview script,” said the FDA.
“Sponsors may also consider using automated virtual interviewers or a trained neutral
third-party interviewer to administer the assessments remotely.

Conventional paper-based patient records contain a large number of different

document types, most of which are signature relevant. Table 1 presents the results of a
document analysis conducted in the Ear,Nose, and Throat Department of Heidelberg
University Medical Center with the aim to examine the signature relevance of the
documents. Major signature-relevant document types are the generic classes of
accompanying documentation, documentation of surgical reports, nursing documentation,
as well as examination orders and
results. Laboratory and departmental examination orders are also signed, but not the
corresponding results, due to their electronic creation. Most often, the documents are
signed by the responsible physician,however the nursing staff and the patients also sign
documents. Some document types,e.g. discharge letters, are signed by several people, i.e.
by the treating junior physician,the responsible physician, and, in several medical
departments also by the superintendent. That signature-relevant documents in
conventional patient records are sometimes not signed is partly attributed to the fact that
only the original document,

1.3.DRAWBACKS FOR E SIGNATURE

One downside to electronic signatures is the price. You need verification software
and signing certificates from certification authorities to encrypt a file with your digital
signature. Costs vary depending on the type of files you want to encrypt. Encryption
services charge per month or per document.Advantages of Digital SignaturesBecause of
the unique identifying keys used to generate and verify a digital signature, a digital
signature offers more security than an electronic signature.

The lengthy process involved in creating a digital signature ensures a higher

standard which is ideal for sensitive information.

Digital signatures are globally accepted and are legally binding in most countries.

The signatories of a digital signature document don't need to rely on the vendor to
continue to verify the document's authenticity. Even if a vendor leaves the marketplace,
the digitally signed document is still valid since the digital certificate identifies the
signatories.Digitally signed documents or information cannot be altered by unauthorized
parties.
 1.4.Disadvantages of Digital Signatures

A digital signature will be highly dependent on the technology used to create it. if the
technology advances, as it does quickly, digital signatures have to change just as quickly
or lose their functionality.

To use digital signatures, you have to purchase digital certificates that can be quite
pricey.Users also have to purchase verification software.

1.5.IMPORTANCE OF E SIGNATURE

E-signatures can be a highly beneficial business tool for organizations. Here are
the top eight reasons to start using them.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Deforestation is a pressing concern, which is something you’re probably already

aware of. But did you also know that companies who adopt eco-friendly business
practices are favored over their competitors? So, not only will an environmentally-
friendly practice like using e-signatures help you attract the best hires, but you’ll be
saving the pandas too.

SPEED

If you’ve ever had to collect a signature before, then you know how long the
process can take from start to finish. Electronic signatures provide a lightning-fast
solution so the steps that follow the signature can begin immediately.
EFFICIENCY

Collecting a signature can be a lengthy and complicated process involving several people
to print, sign, witness, deliver, copy, and store. Electronic signatures are captured with
the click of a button, greatly improving efficiency on both ends of the paperwork.

SECURITY

Thanks to digital encryption and audit trails affiliated with the digital signature
(more about those below), electronic signatures are sealed, stored, and protected against
hackers, a breach in security, and other threats.

CHAPTER 2
LITERATURE SURVEY

Our main motto is to create a application which will be very useful for helping the
healthcare industry . When we start to build up this process we collected some surveys
which are given by some scholars.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATION

4.1 HARDWARE SPECIFICA TION

E-signing solutions are generally device-independent and can be used with a broad
range of signature capturing devices from various manufacturers. Some processes require
basic signature pads, while others require more advanced devices. Some need minimal
networking, others require Enterprise connectivity. And security concerns cover a broad
spectrum.

Our solutions address these issues with modular architectures that enable the
introduction of new devices by developing small device drivers that do not change the
core solution itself. This ensures easy support and upgrades - even the complete exchange
of devices with other vendors.

Nevertheless, there are important differences between different device manufacturers.

Icon UK only works with the leading providers of reliable, robust and secure equipment.
We can provide Mix and Match solutions between vendors where required.

Wacom Wacom is the world's leading provider of tablet and stylus pen technologies
for the Creative Industries. It leverages this heritage by also being the leading
manufacturer of eSigning and eForms tablets, pads and displays. The fundamental
difference between these specialist devices and general purpose computing devices is
security. Wacom devices have no software, only firmware. So if a device is stolen, even
seconds after compelting a transaction on it, there is no data that a thief can access.
Similarly there is strong encryptions and a host of functions that make their range
important to consider when designing customer journeys and workflows.

Icon UK is Wacom's Premier Integration Partner for the UK. However simple or complex
your needs, we can advise on the optimal way to design your solutions (harware, software
and networks). To explore:
 4.2 SOFTWARE SPECIFIATION

This section gives the details and specification of the software which is to be used for the
project.

1. Front End -REACT JS

2. Backend - SQL

React (also known as React.js or React JS) is an open-source, front end,

JavaScript library[3] for building user interfaces or UI components. It is maintained by
Facebook and a community of individual developers and companies.[4][5][6] React can
be used as a base in the development of single-page or mobile applications. However,
React is only concerned with state management and rendering that state to the DOM, so
creating React applications usually requires the use of additional libraries for routing, as
well as certain client-side functionality.[7]

BACKEND -SQL

Structured Query Language)[5] is a domain-specific language used in

programming and designed for managing data held in a relational database management
system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management
system (RDSMS). It is particularly useful in handling structured data, i.e. data
incorporating relations among entities and variables.
