§ 370.55 - Admissibility of digital signature.
Latest version.
-
The requirement of authentication or identification as a condition precedent to admissibility is satisfied by evidence sufficient to support a finding that a digital signature exists. However, in asserting a digital signature against a particular person in any civil litigation or dispute, extrinsic evidence of authenticity as a condition precedent of admissibility shall not be necessary to establish that a digital signature corresponds to a specific public key pair and that an electronic record to which the digital signature is affixed has not been altered from its original form.
