Study on Digital-Signatures and Remote Online Notarization

: Digital-Signatures and Remote Online Notarization application provides secure electronic notarization functionality to the notary attorneys, and anyone in need of certifying electronic documents. E-notary software offers first-class security and convenience for both businesses and consumers who regularly deal with notarization. The software also provides transparent access to documents that are queued to be countersigned as well as the people who have been granted access to sensitive documents. E-notary software can be used by any organization and professional that preliminary needed notarization; a limited cases of the documents that e-notary results can legalize includes property deeds, agreements, and affidavits, among others. Benefits of e-notary application includes saving time and resources preliminary allocated to the notarization process, furnishing inspection trails, and supporting the data integrity of sensitive documents. Certain e-notary results grease web conferencing functionality to allow for remote notarization.

II. LITERATURE REVIEW Remote Online Notarization: A Tool to Insure Business Continuation During COVID-19
For decades, states commissioned notaries to conduct traditional notarial acts, where the notary and the signer are faceto-face, the notary verifies the signer's identity by checking an official identification document (ID) presented by the signer, the notary confirms the signer's awareness of the document and that the signer is executing the document of his/her own free will, the signer physically signs the document (a "wet signature"), and the notary attaches his/her official notarial seal to the document evidencing that each of these events took place.RONs take notarizations one step further.It allows legal tasks to be conducted online, meaning the notaries and the signers may be at different localities.For illustration, under the lately legislated US law, the notary could be in his/ her home and the signer (the "Remote Individual") could be in his/ her home or place of employment in a different city, state, or maybe country ( subject to certain conditions).In this current situation, when every person is being ordered to stay at home and exercise social distancing, it is easy to see why the movement toward allowing RONs has been accelerating.Countries like India, USA, etc are now preferring the RON's as compared to the traditional way of Notarization.

III. PROBLEM DEFINITION AND OBJECTIVES 3.1 Existing System and its Disadvantages
In the present scenario, people have to physically visit to the advocate's office in order to make affidavit for school, colleges or any other purposes, and have to provide all the necessary details.It consumes times, cost etc.The traditional procedure is not efficient enough for the client/customers as well as for the lawyer/advocates as they have to wait in order to get it done.Maintaining the records of the data is another tedious work to do.It is also full of risk as anyone can access and modify the data.The main objective is to automate the existing system i.e., traditional way of making Affidavit/Notary and Maintaining its records.It helps the customer to saves both time and travelling cost and helps the Lawyer/Advocate to expand their customers/clients (can reach maximum number of people) as it will be open 24/7.

Survey of Technology
For this project development we have used HTML5, CSS 3, and JavaScript, Bootstrap, Tailwind, PHP, MySQL.
 HTML: The HTML protocol can be used to design the basic web LAYOUTS.Our Webpage contain headings, paragraphs, images, videos, and many other types of data.We are using HTML elements to specify what kind of information each item on a web page contains -for instance, the "p" element indicates a paragraph.We can also write HTML code to specify how different items relate to one another in the overall structure of the page. JAVASCRIPT: A client-side script is a programming language that runs fully on the client's system and does not require communication with the server to work.If you have a Web page open on your computer and your Internet service provider goes down, you can still interact with the Web pages that are already open in your browser.You will not, however, be able to access any remote data or go to new Web pages.While JavaScript is a client-side language, it has asynchronous interaction with a distant server as one of its most powerful capabilities.Asynchronous simply implies that JavaScript can connect with the server in the background without interfering with the forefront user interaction. CSS: CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is used to style and layout web pages, such as changing the font, colour, size, and spacing of text, splitting it into numerous columns, and adding animations and other decorative features. Tailwind CSS: Tailwind CSS is principally a mileage-first CSS framework for fleetly assembling custom user interfaces.It's a big-time customizable, low-position CSS framework that gives you all of the structure blocks you need to make bespoke designs without any annoying opinioned styles you have to fight to stamp. PHP: Since PHP is open source, the cost of developing our product will be decreased.When compared to other server-side scripting languages, it is simple.Our project will be linked to a database, and it is simple to connect a php script to a database, and it secures the connection. MySQL: MySQL: We want to keep our project simple and fast; our aim is to reduce complexity and keep things simple and secure.MySQL is very helpful when it comes to fast, reliable, and secure databases.MySQL is the most secure and dependable database management system available, and it's used in popular web applications like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Facebook, and Twitter.Whereas MongoDB and Oracle DB are more complex than MySQL.MySQL is compatible with any programming language it can be easily connected.
IV. METHODOLOGY 4.1 Process Model used -Waterfall Model The Waterfall model represents a breakdown of software design conditioning in a direct successional phase.Each phase of this model relies on the deliverables of the former phase, and it corresponds to the particular aspects of the tasks.The first software process model that was introduced is Waterfall model.This model is extremely easy to understand by the software engineers and developers.Each phase of this model is completed before subsequent phase to avoid the overlapping among the multiple phases.The Waterfall model illustrates the software process during a linear sequential flow, which suggests that any face of the entire process begins as long as the previous phase is completed.The approach of this model is typical for many of the areas of software engineering design.It goes from Requirements > Design > Implementation > Verification/Testing > Deployment > Maintenance.

Online Notarization Procedures
To do an online notarization, an Indian notary public must be physically present within the Indian borders at the time of the notarization.The signing party (or principal) can, however, be located anywhere.If you have any questions regarding notarizing a document, you should contact the person who created it and ask them to answer any queries you may have.Other than the part of the document holding the notarial certificate, it is not the notary's role to alter the document.Please be aware that because the document presented to you is an electronic document, you may not be able to make changes to a notarial certificate as you would with a paper document when doing an online notarization.
