GlobalSign will demonstrate the benefits of using digital signature solutions from an evidence and identity perspective in the eye of the federal court system, at the upcoming CSO Council Bay Area Round Table Event
Portsmouth, NH (PRWEB) February 24, 2010 -- GlobalSign, one of the longest established Certificate Authorities (CA) and specialists in Digital Identities for securing electronic documents including Adobe PDFs, will meet with security professionals from the San Francisco area at the upcoming 10th annual CSO Council Bay Area Round Table event. Members of the CSO Council Bay Area and invited guests will gather together for a round table event to discuss the merits of electronic signatures versus digital signatures from a legal perspective in the federal court system. As a participant, GlobalSign will provide firsthand insight into the legal validity of digital signatures and participate in the discussion to support the expansion of digital signatures within the legal arena.
As a leading digital certificate provider, GlobalSign supports the expansion of digital signatures into the U.S. court system and will convey the benefits and opportunities of implementing reliable and legally binding digital signatures by demonstrating its digital signature and document signing solution, branded as DocumentSign. Solutions like DocumentSign can provide the federal court system the opportunity to eliminate the use of easily forge-able handwritten judges’ signatures on various juridical orders and implement trusted digital signatures which are highly resistant to tampering and can be verified at any time unlike a traditional handwritten signature.

“Since launching DocumentSign for Adobe Secure PDF, GlobalSign has seen various companies and industries implement the solution into their workflow to take advantage of the improved workflow processes, as well as meet various compliance regulations among healthcare, government, and financial industries,” says Lila Kee, Director of Product Marketing, GlobalSign, Inc. “We are delighted to be part of the CSO Council’s round table event to discuss the opportunities available for digital signature solutions in the federal court systems, highlighting the legally equivalent benefits DocumentSign has to offer.”
“This milestone sends a strong message of confidence to judges and most importantly to general counsels and lawyers throughout the United States: it is acceptable -- in fact, desirable -- to use digital signatures, so long as they are highly reliable and persistently verifiable,” said Jacques Francoeur, Sr. Director, Identity and Information Assurance at SAIC Commercial Business Services, who is credited for orchestrating this event.
The 10th annual CSO Council Bay Area Round Table event will be held March 1 in San Francisco, California at Adobe’s corporate office.

I find this to be an interesting article. Me and my husband operate an online distribution of our company. When we obtained a globalsign ssl certificate
we noticed a very clear increase in sales and traffic to our website. It seems as if consumers are still incredibly well placed in terms of choosing where they buy online.
