Evolution of Electronic Signature: How It All Began |
|
UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Commerce, published by United Nations in 1996, was one of the most influential pieces of legislation that triggered the wave of development of electronic signature laws around the world including the United States. Most countries based their electronic signature laws on the UN model code. It was for the first time that UN model code equated an electronic signature to manuscript signature and evolved all the functional dynamics for equivalence towards cross-border trade enablement. We grew from telegram to fax machines to email to e-signatures now.
Enforceability of Electronic Signature
We evolved from Telegram as an electronic communication even though it did not explicitly have the instructor’s signature. However, a telegram was accepted as enforceable communication. We then moved to send manually signed documents through fax to recipients. |
