Aspects of the disclosure relate to an electronic document sharing and signing (DSS) ecosystem for electronic document authentication and authorization. The DSS ecosystem may preferably provide a communication platform between a first user information database associated with a first entity and a second user information database associated with a second entity. The DSS ecosystem may include a signer information database. The signer information database may be coupled to the first user information database and the second user information database. The signer information database may be configured to be readable by the first entity and writeable to by the first entity, and readable by the second entity but not writeable to by the second entity. The signer database may include a list of signatory names associated with the first entity, and a plurality of electronically signed documents. Each of the documents may include an electronic signature applied by a signatory whose name appears on the signatory list. The list of electronically signed documents may be accessible by the second entity.
