This article is nicely written and with the help of it I came to know about so many interesting facts related to the use of digital signature.<br /><a href="http://www.arx.com/information/digital-certificate" rel="nofollow">digital signature certificate</a><br />Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13421810816339571070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5971638098152252135.post-68232921092610963832007-01-08T08:36:00.000-08:002007-01-08T08:36:00.000-08:00You would be advised to read the definitions of "d...You would be advised to read the definitions of "digital signature" and "electronic signature" on Wikipedia, or visit Yozons' pages that discuss this topic more clearly: <br /><br /><a href="http://www.yozons.com/pub/aboutUs/electronicSignatureFAQ.jsp">http://www.yozons.com/pub/aboutUs/electronicSignatureFAQ.jsp</a><br /><br />FAQ #15 has links to details on the difference between those two terms.<br /><br />By law, few care about "digital signatures" except as a specific technology designed to secure electronically signed agreements.<br /><br />Equating electronic signatures to "click-wrap" agreements misses the point of the law entirely. Click-wraps are the least enforceable because they suffer a poor process, no disclosures and no clear records are generated. <br /><br />The "click-wrap" process is bad because users must agree before they even see the product (they typically occur before you can install something, and you can't even determine if the software works until it's installed and run a few times -- heck, it could even be a virus or other malware that is itself criminal). Second, there are no ESIGN Act disclosures provided before a user agrees, thus not making it clear that it is legally binding. Third, there is no way to know who installed the software, so there's no way to know who "agreed." Was it installed by you, your spouse, a child, tech support, a third-party technician who doesn't even work for you? Fourth, there's no record generated of the agreement, so the "signer" has no way to show what they agreed to should there be a dispute in terms.<br /><br />Your description of digital signatures confuses many of the terms used in that technology. For example, a certificate authority certifies your public key, not your digital signatures, each of which is uniquely created when data is digitally signed.<br /><br />At Yozons, we've offered electronic signature software and services using digital signature technologies since 2001 to nearly 30,000 customers worldwide.
