Identity authentication, that is, real-name authentication, refers to the confirmation of the user's identity through certain means. In the field of electronic contracts, before signing electronic contracts, enterprise users and individual users must carry out real-name authentication on the electronic contract platform to ensure the authenticity, legality and security of the signing behavior.
An electronic contract refers to a contract concluded through a computer network system and generated, stored or transmitted in the form of data messages. The whole process of electronic contract signing (including real-name authentication, digital certificate issuance and management, signature style setting, reliable electronic signature, certificate deposit and issuance, judicial expertise, online arbitration and other services) is conducted on the Internet.
Real-name authentication is the most critical link in the electronic contract service chain, which is used to establish the real identity relationship between the user who uses the electronic contract system and him. Through real-name authentication, it can be ensured that the signing behavior of electronic contracts is the true behavior and true meaning expression of the corresponding subjects, which can effectively avoid using false identities or using others' identities to sign electronic contracts and ensure the integrity of the evidence chain of electronic contracts.
After real-name authentication, enterprise users or individual users can send or sign electronic contracts on the third-party electronic contract platform. At the same time, for users of platform real-name authentication, the third-party electronic contract platform can ensure the smooth development of deposit and certification, judicial expertise, online arbitration and other links to a greater extent after disputes occur, and effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of both parties to the contract.
However, if the user does not have real-name authentication, the electronic contract platform can't confirm the real identity of the user, and can't accurately verify whether the identity information and contact information provided by the user are provided for him. Then this user will receive a response risk warning when signing the electronic contract, and the other party who signs the electronic contract will also receive a risk warning, which may hinder the electronic signing process and affect the normal cooperation.
