According to China's current electronic signature law, if the electronic signature needs third-party authentication, the legally established electronic authentication service provider will provide authentication services. Therefore, the parties who sign the contract cannot provide electronic signature authentication by themselves, and the emergence of the third-party electronic seal platform just makes up for the market demand of this piece.

So, what should we pay attention to when choosing an electronic seal platform?

1. Does the product meet the legal requirements?

The Electronic Signature Law has many explicit provisions on the use of electronic signatures and data messages, such as the electronic signature must be owned by the signatory, controlled by the signatory when signing, the content must be able to be expressed and called at any time, and the content must be guaranteed not to be tampered with.

2. Is the data storage safe?

After the contract is signed, saving and calling are equally important, so it is also an important dimension to evaluate the electronic seal platform.

3. Are legal services adequate?

Signing a contract with an electronic seal itself is to let the law protect its legal rights. If an electronic seal platform can provide supporting legal services, it will definitely reassure users.

In a word, on the basis of ensuring the legal effect of electronic seal, security and legal service are important indicators to inspect an electronic seal platform.
