Samenvatting van de wet
An eSignature is broadly defined as “a record that is prepared by an electronic form, a magnetic form or any other form not perceivable by human senses and that is used for information processing by computers”.
Some attributes of an e-signature:
- Should be identified as created by the person who is requiring an eSignature
- Any alteration to the information is detectable
- The term “Certification Business” means that the person who requests a signature certifies that the document signed can be accepted with eSignature from both parties
Japan's tiered eSignature laws recognize standard eSignatures as legal and enforceable while giving digital signatures the same legal status as handwritten signatures.
