   If the fingerprint matches our records, you see the agreement, the parties, who signed and when. If it does not match, the file is not the signed copy we hold, or it has been changed.

A fingerprint (technically a SHA-256 hash) is a 64-character code calculated from every byte of a file. Changing anything in the file, even one comma, produces a completely different fingerprint. GoLive Sign records the fingerprint of each revision when it is issued and of the final signed copy when it is completed.

• The certificate of completion at the end of the signed PDF lists each signatory, how and when they signed, and where to verify the copy.
• The audit trail attached inside the signed PDF records every step, each entry chained to the one before, so a missing or altered entry shows.
