I. Information security risks
Handwritten signature and seal can identify the authenticity of the signer and signature content through handwriting and ink on paper. However, the electronic signature in electronic form has information security risks such as identity forgery, content tampering and signature behavior denial. These risks will seriously affect the security of IT business development and bring huge hidden dangers to users.
Second, the legal liability risk
Signature marks the recognition of the contents of the signature by all parties, and the corresponding legal rights, obligations and responsibilities are often associated behind it. The above information security risks faced by electronic signature itself will seriously affect the performance of legal responsibilities.
Because of this, major countries that widely use electronic signatures generally put forward specific provisions and requirements on the security requirements and legal effect of electronic signatures through laws, regulations and standards, and generally require the use of third-party security technologies such as digital identification and electronic signatures to solve information security risks and legal liability risks.
