# Sign Transaction API

## Introduction

The signTransaction method allows securely signing an Ethereum transaction within an authenticated session.

To sign a message a user  / an account would need to have to have been registered  by going through [Register using SDK](/authentication/developer-owned-auth/registration/register-using-sdk.md) flow. 

## **Direct Authentication**
