Abstract

 

 

The market of certificate providers has evolved, but the users of certificates have not grown so much as the providers imagined it. The main question is: why? Is it a possible answer, that there are no clear responsibilities and roles in area of making an electronic signature, validating an electronic signature and providing a certificate? What can be done that the electronic liabilities can be accepted by anyone without legal action proceedings.

However, it is an important question too, that if the validator of an electronic signature agrees the rightness of signature, and it is false, what can the certificate provider do, and how much compensation will be paid to an injured person. The lecture will explain these ideas and would like to help in using the electronic signature.
