چکیده
www.deaeslr.org DIGITAL EVIDENCE AND ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE LAW REVIEW Despite a common legal framework for electronic signatures within the European Union, qualified electronic signatures have not been a market success, although several governments are issuing or plan to issue signature capable identity cards to all their citizens. However, the high market penetration of smart cards does not necessarily lead to an increased number of signature transactions. To tap the potential for electronic signatures, there is a need for applications that are used on a frequent basis. In this paper, a method is proposed to achieve single sign on by using qualified electronic signatures. This solution can be used for all ecommerce sites, regardless of whether they accept or use electronic signatures.

متن کاملLegal Status of Qualified Electronic Signatures in Europe
It is a common misunderstanding that, in Europe, in order to have a legally valid electronic signature, you need a “qualified” electronic signature.
