E-signing is becoming an integral part of many processes for improved customer service and shorter processing time. However, many businesses fail to properly evaluate their risk exposure due to the use of e-signing instead of wet signatures. Many e-signing services look and work smoothly, though fail to ensure sufficient legal evidence to the business. This talk will highlight fundamental cryptographic principles used to identity-protect legal evidence in the advanced and qualified electronic signatures. It will also oppose what looks to be lighter, smoother and more affordable option - electronic sealing often promoted as “e-signing”, to the "true" electronic signing where legal evidence is identity-protected by design.
