Abstract
A document management system performs name matching operations to validate an identity claimed by a recipient of a document. To validate a claimed identity the document management system compares name data obtained from an identity data source with name data corresponding to a recipient entity of a document to determine whether name features of the identity source name data match recipient name data. The name matching operations may include applying a set of name matching rules to the identity source name data and the recipient name data to determine whether features that differ between the identity source name data and the recipient name data are acceptable alternative representations. Responsive to successfully validating the identity, the system may authorize the recipient to perform actions on the document. Identity source name data may be received from a variety of identity data sources, such as an identity document or a trusted service provider.
