Associated legal terms

Advanced electronic signatures

The principles applicable to basic electronic signatures apply. Advanced electronic signatures are not expressly given particular status in respect of admissibility or legal effect. The crucial feature of advanced electronic signatures is that they require a link between the signature and the signatory, with a view to providing a degree of identity authentication. In practice, the evidential value of an advanced electronic signature is likely to be higher than a basic electronic signature due to the thorough processes used to create it. Most advanced electronic signatures rely on PKI to fulfil its requirements. A signature record can show any evidence of tampering.
