Dropbox Sign 국제 전자 서명 합법성 안내서

Iceland has legally recognized electronic signatures since 2001 with the Icelandic Act on Electronic Signatures.

‍

Electronic Signature Law

The Icelandic Act on Electronic Signatures states eSignatures are permissible for transactions as long as both parties agree. In certain cases, additional documentation is needed to prove a valid contract.

‍

Are eSignatures legal, admissible, and enforceable?

Yes.

‍

Summary of Law

An eSignature is broadly defined as “data in electronic form which are attached to or logically associated with other electronic data and which are used to authenticate the origin of the latter data.” Iceland recognizes the 3 tiers of eSignatures as Standard, Advanced, and Qualified.

‍

SES(Standard Electronic Signature)

SES는 문서 등의 다른 전자 데이터에 논리적으로 연결된 전자 데이터로, 전자 데이터의 서명인이 문서에 서명하는 데 사용하는 데이터를 말합니다. SES에는 비밀번호, PIN 코드, 스캔한 서명 등 다양한 전자 도구가 포함될 수 있습니다.

‍

AES(Advanced Electronic Signature)

AES는 반드시 서명인과 독자적으로 연결된 서명이어야 하며, 서명인의 신원을 식별할 수 있는 것이어야 합니다. 이 서명은 서명인이 단독으로 사용한다고 확신할 수 있는 전자 서명 생성 데이터로 만들어야 합니다.

‍

QES(Qualified Electronic Signature)

A qualified electronic signature (QES) is a stricter form of AES and the only signature type given the same legal value as handwritten signatures. It is an advanced electronic signature with a qualified digital certificate that has been created by a qualified signature creation device (QSCD).

‍

Key Restrictions

According to the Icelandic Act on Electronic Signatures, the tier of eSignatures is required based on the type of transaction or document.

• SES is permissible for HR documents, sales transactions, and commercial agreements.
• QES is required for employment documents, wills, financial statements, marriage licenses, and real estate documents.
