Patent number: 11790061Abstract: Techniques for electronic signature process management are described. Some embodiments provide an electronic signature service (“ESS”) configured to manage electronic identity cards. In some embodiments, the ESS generates and manages an electronic identity card for a user, based on personal information of the user, activity information related to the user's actions with respect to the ESS, and/or social networking information related to the user. The electronic identity card of a signer may be associated with an electronic document signed via the ESS, so that users may obtain information about the signer of the document. The ESS may also generate a trust score for the user based on activity information related to the user's actions with respect to the ESS and/or other factors. The trust score may be used to recommend authentication mechanisms to use with respect to electronic signature transactions.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: October 17, 2023Assignee: DocuSign, Inc.Inventors: Thomas H. Gonser, Donald G. Peterson, Douglas P. Rybacki, Ashley Carroll, Michael Strickland
