Presumption as to Electronic Signature Certificates
AI Assist
Summary
When a subscriber accepts an Electronic Signature Certificate, the court will presume the details recorded in that certificate are correct unless someone proves otherwise. The presumption does not apply to any subscriber information that has not been verified by the certifying authority.
Example
Priya accepts an Electronic Signature Certificate for her online shop. The certificate lists her email and shop address, but the certifying authority verified only the email and did not verify the address. If the certificate is disputed in court, the court will presume the verified details correct but will not presume the unverified address.
Bare Act
Enacted textThe Court shall presume, unless contrary is proved, that the information listed in an Electronic Signature Certificate is correct, except for information specified as subscriber information which has not been verified, if the certificate was accepted by the subscriber.
