Abstract
Various embodiments relate methods performed by a processor of a computing system. An example method includes receiving an agreement associated with a signing party. A hash of the agreement is generated. A biometric sample captured from a signing party is received. Each of a hash of the agreement and the biometric sample is signcrypted using each of a signing party public/private key pair associated with the signing party, and a recipient public key of a recipient public/private key pair to generate a biometrics-based electronic signature token. A smart contract based on the agreement is generated. The smart contract includes the terms of the agreement, and the biometric-based electronic signature token, the biometric-based electronic signature token providing biometric-based pre-authorization by the signing party of a payment to be initiated by the smart contract in response to detecting performance of at least one of the terms of the agreement.
