And whats to stop someone from writing a contract totally screwing you over in some way

(lets see... " i agree to rent this Ford Focus for £1000 per month in perpetuity" for instance)

, and then scrawling an approximation of your signature all over it?

-----------------------------------------

The last few contracts I've entered into have been done online , and didnt require a signature

Because Its A Stupid Pointless Exercise!!

Am i alone in thinking this? I've had a lot of downvotes but no one has brought forth any evidence or justification for the "Signature" system of Identification / Authentication.

Surley as I.T professionals / programmers / security experts you can see that the 'signature' system is akin to walking around with your pin and all your passwords printed on your T-shirt?
