Sommario/riassunto

This fourth edition of the well-established practitioner text sets out what constitutes an electronic signature, the form an electronic signature can take, and discusses the issues relating to evidence - illustrated by analysis of relevant case law and legislation from a wide range of common law and civil law jurisdictions. Stephen Mason is a leading authority on electronic signatures and electronic evidence, having advised global corporations and governments on these topics. He is also the editor of <i>Electronic Evidence</i> and <i>International Electronic Evidence</i>, and he founded the international open-source journal <i>Digital Evidence and Electronic Signature Law Review</i> in 2004.
