On Wednesday, bloggers discussed the impact of digital activism in Syria, focusing heavily on the Syrian Electronic Army, the pro regime hacking group recently responsible for defacing Harvard University's website.

3. An electronic signature is considered to be reliable for the purpose of satisfying the requirement referred to in paragraph 1 if

The provision in paragraph 3 (b), however, would allow the court to consider the circumstances in which the signature had been affixed, thereby permitting something that fell short of a digital signature.

Paragraph 3 (b) of article 9 contains a requirement that the method of signing must be as reliable as appropriate for the purpose for which the electronic communication was generated or communicated, in the light of all the circumstances, including any relevant agreement in order for the electronic signature to be legally valid.

Paragraph 3 (a) provides that only an electronic signature that fulfils both the function of identification of the party as well as the function of indicating that party's approval of the information contained in the electronic communication meets that legal requirement of a signature in relation to an electronic communication.

The objective was to ensure that, if an electronic signature fulfilled the functions described in draft article 9, paragraph 3 (a), a party could not challenge the validity of that signature on the grounds of non reliability.

In the Model Law on Electronic Commerce, article 7 and article 13 together affirmed the validity of an electronic signature and allowed the attribution of the data message to an originator as long as the addressee used a method agreed upon with the originator to verify the authenticity of the message, without the need to demonstrate the authenticity of the signature itself.

Thus, if the method used failed to identify the party and to indicate that party's intention but it could nonetheless be proved through extraneous evidence that the electronic signature had been created by the signing party, such a signature would not meet the requirements of draft article 9, paragraph 3.

Where a written signature is required or the original of the document must be kept, the draft deemed that the electronic version of the document had the same status if that version fulfilled a number of requirements and guarantees set forth in the article.

It was for the individual parties to check with the signatory whether a signature had been appended, and the signature derived its legal effect from the proven link between the signature and the signatory.

If the draft article contained only the identity criterion in paragraph 3 (a), a court in a jurisdiction with digital signature laws might decide that only a digital signature was appropriate for identifying the parties.
