Study Group on Modernization of Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act Certification Standards
- Last Updated:
A variety of trust services, including electronic signatures, are being developed and studied. In particular, there is a certification system for specified certification services based on the Act on Electronic Signatures and Certification Business (Act No. 102 of 2000; hereinafter referred to as the "Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act"), which came into effect in April 2001.
However, as no major revisions have been made to the certification standards since the law came into effect, it has been suggested that the standards need to be updated in light of technological trends and changes in views on security. Therefore, a study meeting will be held on updating the certification standards.
