New   Certinal Named A Leader in IDC MarketScape : Worldwide eSignature Software »
Electronic signature solutions have been in use for decades but have started gaining greater legal and commercial acceptability in recent years. Governments across the globe are framing regulations governing the use of e-signatures, creating compliance requirements, and creating an ecosystem that favors e-signatures.
Globally, governments are supporting the adoption of digital signature solutions because they create efficiency and security within the documentation processes. The Directive 1999/93/EC was implemented by the EU in 1999, and the U.S. passed the Global and National Commerce (E-Sign) Act in 2000 to grant such solutions legal validity.
