E-Signatures

Folks,

Is anyone doing any work with e-signatures within their
applications?  I'm not talking about crypto-based digital
signatures.  Rather, we need something that is the equivalent of
someone signing a piece of paper to attest that the contents are
correct.  Some applications we've seen just have something like "type
your name in this field to sign this form".  A campus customer is
looking for something more comprehensive than that.  What are other
people doing short of implementing PKI or using login credentials as
a signature?

Thanks.

-Dan
