This event relates to the topic e-signatures, which has been covered this semester. Just as discussed in class, standardization in the area of e-signatures and e-contracts is highly important as it ensures privacy, authentication, and non-replication. Use of e-signatures and certificates has been greatly impended by lack of standards. Therefore, it is important that countries should make it a priority to standardize their e-signature infrastructure. The summit will also have a session on legal environment of e-signatures, which is a major topic covered in class. In relation to law, it is important that every electronic signature certification provider authenticate the identity of the participant in accordance to the national law of the applicable country. The article is of high importance in relation to legal environment of e-signatures. The results of such an event will be of great importance, as they will explain in detail the various legal necessities that should be met by every e- signature certification-server provider.
