I listened to a webinar back in May ("Paperless Contracting with SharePoint and eSignatures" ; Mary-Ellen Power, Joseph McKairnes & Michael Ratigan). They've been working with (U.S.) government agencies for as long as 20 years if I remember right. The take away from the webinar was that you needed a way of authenticating the user and there needed to be some kind of user acceptance (clicking a button, entering initials, etc.). As long as those two pieces were there, you have a legally binding signature.
