Electronic Signatures in the United States already allow individuals and organizations to sign with full legal validity and prove their identities on the Network.
- Uniform Electronic Transactions Act of 1999. Applies to 47 states and various territories of the United States.
- Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or E-Sign Act, was approved in 2000 at federal level to extend the regulation of the electronic signature beyond the transactions within the different states, including also those involving more than a territorial unit.
To get an idea of the complex situation in which the organizations are, let us remember what happened in the case “Safe Harbor”.
Safe Harbor was jointly devised by the European Commission and the United States Department of Commerce as a framework to allow grassroots organizations in the United States to overcome restrictions on EU personal data transfers. But on October 6, 2015, the European Union Court of Justice (ECJ) declared the EU and US framework of safeguard invalid. This decision determined that such data transfers are illegal. In February 2016 the transition period ended, and from the 4000 companies affected, there are still many who do not know this situation.
