 `@bdking71/spsignature` provides a secure, lightweight, and framework-agnostic digital signature module engineered specifically for Microsoft 365 environments. Built to run inside custom SPFx Web Parts and Extension Application Customizers, it delivers tamper-evident signature collection, automated base64 image encoding, and structured payload generation directly integrated with SharePoint Online list infrastructure.

 To enforce non-repudiation and meet compliance standards, `@bdking71/spsignature` includes a flexible Two-Factor Authentication engine. Rather than relying on rigid third-party SMS gateways, it delegates code delivery to **Power Automate**, allowing organizations to route standard **5-digit** verification codes via Microsoft Teams, Outlook Email, or both.

 ### How the 2FA Workflow Operates
+![Diagram illustrating the 2FA workflow between SPFx, SharePoint, and Power Automate](/img/TFA.jpg)
 
 1. **Code Generation**: When a user initiates a signing transaction, the component generates a cryptographically secure 5-digit verification code (e.g., `84920`) using the Web Crypto API.
 2. **SharePoint Queue**: The component writes a record to the dedicated `PendingVerifications` SharePoint list, secured with item-level permissions so users can only see their own codes.
