摘要
报告者从发明人提供的背景信息中获得了以下引述：“传统的安全文档基础结构(例如，配置为接受具有法律约束力的签名的电子文档)受到膨胀的影响，这阻碍了存储和带宽限制，并且需要大量可避免的来回网络使用。例如，某些类型的安全文档信封通常需要身份验证，这启动了需要用户输入信息的工作流，上传身份文件的高分辨率图像等。这些工作流中的一些活动是不必要的，因为它们是重复的，尽管请求方可能以前没有验证用户的身份，但安全文档服务可能已经根据任何要求的标准验证了用户的身份。
Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: “Conventional secure document infrastructure (e.g., electronic documents configured to accept legally binding signatures) are subject to bloat that hampers storage and bandwidth constraints and requires a high amount of avoidable back-and-forth network use. For example, certain types of secure document envelopes often require identity verification, which launch workflows where users are required to input information, upload high resolution images of identity documents, and the like. Some activities in these workflows are unnecessary where they are duplicative, where, while a requesting party may not have previously verified the identity of a user, a secure document service may have previously verified the user’s identity in accordance with whatever standard is required.”
