After years of talk, electronic signatures are finally becoming a reality.

The term "electronic signature" has become the generic name for what is actually a wide variety of means of authenticating the identity of parties to a transaction. One strength of the new law is that it is broad enough to embrace the plethora of electronic signature verification mechanisms, rather than promoting the use of just one.
