Legal framework for electronic signatures in Chile
|
||
|
|
==================================================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In Chile, electronic signatures are regulated under the `Law 19.799 on electronic documents,
|
||
|
|
electronic signature and certification services of such signature
|
||
|
|
<https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=196640>`_, `Decree 181/2002
|
||
|
|
<https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=201668>`_ and `Law No. 21,180, on Digital
|
||
|
|
Transformation of the State <https://www.bcn.cl/leychile/navegar?idNorma=1138479&tipoVersion=0>`_.
|
||
|
|
The law establishes the legal basis for acknowledging electronic records, contracts, and signatures.
|
||
|
|
The key points of the law include:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Legal recognition**: electronic signatures are legally equivalent to handwritten signatures if
|
||
|
|
they meet certain criteria.
|
||
|
|
- **Reliability and security**: electronic signatures must be created with a secure method that can
|
||
|
|
reliably identify the signatory and ensure the integrity of the signed document.
|
||
|
|
- **Certified electronic signatures**: special electronic signature that incorporates certificates
|
||
|
|
issued by a recognized certification authority.
