e. Digital Signature: –also called safe electronic signature, advanced
electronic signature or acknowledged electronic signature
-. The digital signature concept has at least two meanings:
a technological one, related to public key technologies; and a
legal one, that is related to the definition that national laws
have included as an equivalent of the handwritten signature.
From the technological point of view, a digital signature is
the authentication mechanism that, supported on asymmetric
cryptography, i.e. that it uses two keys, a private and a public
one, allows identification of the signer and ensures the integrity
of the content of the electronic document signed.
From the legal point of view, the laws require an administrative
procedure. This means that to be considered a legal digital signature,
this mechanism needs to be applied through the use of
a digital certificate issued by a certification entity approved by
the governing body of the State in this subject matter.
f. Electronic signature: the concept is applied to any sound,
symbol or process, attached or logically associated to an electronic
document that express a person’s consent issued electronically.
In general, the laws call “electronic signature” any
authentication mechanism that does not comply with any of
the requirements for a digital signature. “Electronic signature”
is the generic and neutral term to refer to the universe of technologies
that a person can use to express his or her consent
about the content of a document.
8 The present Framework promotes all those issues, that related
to electronic identification processes of individuals in physical or
virtual environments, constitute the basis for future agreements
of mutual acknowledgement, between the Ibero American States,
that are mandatory to attain a common effective means for Ibero
American Social Electronic Identification.
9 Through this Framework, the Ibero American States will focus the
discussion of the legal and technical aspects necessary for the execution
of data interchange agreements, the interoperability of the
systems and the establishment of common technological standards.
10 The Ibero American States are committed to the interchange of national
experiences as regards the implementation of the electronic
identity document and the electronic passport, and any other
mechanism for digital authentication.
11 At last, this Framework includes the contents of understanding so
that the Ibero American States can execute agreements of mutual
acknowledgement of digital certificates.
12 To constitute a generic framework of leading principles, policies
and management procedures, to set up the basis to establish a future
scheme of mutual recognition of social identification devices
in the countries of the Ibero American community.
