Proof as to digital signature
AI Assist
Summary
When someone alleges a subscriber's digital signature is affixed to an electronic record and the signature is not a secure digital signature, the person making the allegation must prove the signature belongs to that subscriber. In short, for non-secure digital signatures the burden of proving authorship lies on the party who asserts the signature.
Example
Priya signs an online rental agreement with her digital signature. Months later the landlord says the contract bears Priya's digital signature. Because the signature is not a secure digital signature, the landlord must prove that the signature is Priya's.
Bare Act
