AuthuSign leverages the Ethereum blockchain for secure e-signatures, and MetaMask is a popular Ethereum wallet used to interact with blockchain applications. To seamlessly use AuthuSign with MetaMask, here are the requirements:

Software and Hardware:

  • Computer: A computer with a reliable internet connection is necessary.
  • Web Browser: A compatible web browser with MetaMask installed as an extension. Popular options include Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. (Double-check compatibility on MetaMask’s website if needed)
  • MetaMask Extension: Ensure you have the latest version of the MetaMask extension installed from the official MetaMask website (https://metamask.io/). Avoid downloading from unofficial sources.
  • Ethereum Wallet: You’ll need an Ethereum wallet set up within MetaMask. This involves creating a seed phrase and password for secure access to your wallet and digital signature.

Technical Knowledge:

  • Basic understanding of Ethereum wallets: Familiarity with how to create, access, and manage your Ethereum wallet within MetaMask is recommended.
  • Navigating MetaMask: Knowing how to send and receive cryptocurrency (specifically Ethereum) within MetaMask might be helpful for some use cases on AuthuSign. However, AuthuSign itself shouldn’t require complex transactions beyond signing documents.

Additional Considerations:

  • Funded Ethereum Wallet: In some cases, there might be minimal transaction fees associated with signing documents on the Ethereum blockchain. Ensure you have a small amount of Ether (ETH) in your MetaMask wallet to cover any potential fees.
  • MetaMask Account Security: Remember to keep your MetaMask seed phrase confidential and use strong passwords to protect your wallet from unauthorized access.

Getting Started:

  1. Install the MetaMask extension on your compatible web browser.
  2. Create a new Ethereum wallet within MetaMask, or import an existing one if you have one.
  3. Ensure you have a small amount of ETH in your wallet to cover any potential fees.
  4. Visit the AuthuSign website and explore their platform.
  5. During the signing process, AuthuSign will likely prompt you to connect your MetaMask wallet to interact with the Ethereum blockchain for signing the document hash.

By following these requirements and familiarizing yourself with the basics of MetaMask, you can leverage AuthuSign’s secure e-signature solution with confidence.
