International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology IJRASET, 2020

Running towards the best technology and using technology for everything is now a trend. Usage of internet is the easiest and accessible technology we are having. The Information Technology Act 2000 (IT Act), Indian law dealing with cybercrime and electronic commerce, describes digital signatures as a means of authentication and security of electronic documents. Digital signature refers to an electronic receipt that creates link between an entity and data record, serving the purpose of verification and authentication of an electronic document. Verification of an electronic document means the process of certifying the contents of the document, while authentication means the process of certifying the sender of the document. Any handwritten signature when used in its electronic version referred as a digital signature. A valid digital signature creates believe that the message was created by a known sender, that the sender cannot deny that he sent the message and that the message was not changed in transit. This helped in increasing the use of digital technology in daily life which has increased technology dependency. Confidential messages, software distribution, cases where it is important to detect forgery or tampering are the fine examples where the digital signature has its use. It provides the services of verification, authentication and data integrity.

Cuvinte cheie : digital signatures, electronic commerce, secured devices to generate electronic signatures Article refers to significance and the digital signature in electronic commerce. Internet and electronic commerce open up many new opportunities for the consumer, yet, the security (or perceived lack of security) of exchanging personal and financial data is still a major concern amongst all kinds of users. We believe that only digital signature technologies based on publickey cryptography can guarantee the necessary security and consumer confidence. The exigency in the conclusion of a written legal document, ad validitatem or ad probationem, is satisfied by the electronic document with an incorporated electronic signature, based on the acknowledged certificate and generated with a signature creation device.

This paper focuses on the issues of eSignatures for secure eTransactions in Pakistan i.e. social and legal issues. Internet has become affordable in developing countries like Pakistan, yet the societal changes surrounding eSignatures are even greater threat than that of developed countries. The increasing use of internet for eBusiness has raised the issue of legality of eTransactions. The researchers have underlined several factors responsible for creating issues for eTransactions however the problems of eSignature are prominent. In Pakistan, eBusiness is an infant child facing several social and legal issues e.g. privacy and authentication, trust psychological and cultural, internet access and eSecurity. Given the absence of adequate legislation on eSignatures in Pakistan, this paper concludes that to meet the user's needs, legal infrastructure must first be put in place before users in Pakistan can actively engage in secure eBusiness transactions.

To address and facilitate the growth of activities in the area of e-and m-commerce, United Nations produced a document called the UNCITRAL Model Law. Article 13 of the Model Law describes the concept of 'attribution of data messages', a principal component in ensuring authenticity and reliability of an electronic message. The purpose behind such prescription is to ensure harmony among trading partners as the implementation of regulatory framework in many countries is not uniform and bound by various jurisdictional issues. While conducting transactions across borders, including state and national, trading parties should be aware of various consequences of 'transmission of electronic messages' as there may be profound implications to the parties when things go wrong due to technical problems.

There are several laws and some notable judicial decisions across the globe to regulate electronic signatures. These judicial decisions when interpreting legislation are not consistent with each other. They leave much to be desired. There are still problems with the validity of an electronic signature. In this paper the author mainly focuses on the South African model. The major legislation regulating the use of electronic signatures in South Africa is the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act 25 of 2002. It has recently been interpreted in the case of Spring Forest Trading v Wilberry by the High Court of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) and the highest court of South Africa, the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA). However, there is a wide difference in the approaches of the High Court of KZN and the SCA. Even in other jurisdictions judicial decisions have not helped towards clarifying the law; rather one has to wade through conflicting approaches of judges to understand where the law is goi...

The purpose of Directive 1999/93 / EC on the Community framework for electronic signatures is to facilitate the use of electronic signatures. Digital signatures are incredibly important as they prevent fraud in e-commerce transactions. A legal framework for electronic signatures is established to ensure the smooth functioning of the internal market. This article aims to interpret the European framework for digital signatures. Member States shall at least ensure that, when issuing a certificate, the certification body is liable for any damage caused to any entity or natural or legal person reasonably based on the certificate: (a) the accuracy, at the time of issue, of all the information contained in the recognized certificate. (b) ensure that, at the time of issue of the certificate, the signatories identified on the recognized certificate were the holders of the signature-creation data corresponding to the signature verification data referred to or specified in the certificate; Mem...

E-governance is the latest trend in many countries in which the government system is being online to deliver the government services to the citizens. The services can be from Government to Citizen (G2C) and Government to Business (G2B) or Government to Government (G2G) or Government to Employee (G2E) or vice a versa. People can access any application or any scheme from anywhere, anytime. As it comes with the word online, the biggest concern is the security issue. To provide E-authentication to the user there are many cryptographic techniques available. This paper discusses to increase the security, reliability, and non-repudiation of the user's data or information using Digital signature.
