| Title | DIGITAL SIGNATURES IN THE E-COMMERCE |
| Summary | The increasing use of e-commerce generally is considered a positive trend that should be promoted. The security in the electronic transactions over the Internet is regarded as one of the most crucial issues in the digital world. During the last decade, national and international legislators have been trying to promote the use of electronic signatures in the e-commerce and set forth a common legal framework for electronic authentication over the Internet. However, many lawyers believe that laws requiring signatures to authenticate certain transactions represent obstacles to e-commerce and threaten to keep it from reaching its full potential. The given topic is chosen as the computerization of almost all fields, including the legal field, has nowadays become an increasingly acute problem for the professionals of each field who are not familiar with the technology novelties, which can cause problems in their own field. One such novelty appearing in recent years is digital signature, which has become more and more frequently used in the legal field for document authentication. The thesis is aimed at facilitating the work of practitioners dealing with digital signatures by theoretical analyses of the practical and legislative problems in order to avoid obstacles that may arise in future. The national and international laws adopted in this area are quite new and not confirmed by long practice, for this reason there are gaps which should be filled and issues which can be better regulated. This work analyzes a number of international legislative efforts, their interpretations and proposals of their perfection as well as evaluates their effectiveness. |
