中国电子签名跨境互认法律研究

Legal Research on Cross-Border Mutual Recognition of Electronic Signature in China

受制于法律、技术差异,电子签名跨境互认一直存在较大的落地障碍。我国由于监管核准的原因,开展电子签名跨境互认更加困难。从法律视角出发,首先,分析了造成电子签名难以互认的原因;其次,介绍了欧盟范围内成功的落地方案,并总结了我国对于欧盟方案可以借鉴之处;最后,提出了在现有条件下,我国可以通过监管部门明确核准要求、在合同条款中约定适用境外法律,以及借助区块链技术保障举证,促进跨境认证和签名业务合规有序发展。

Subject to legal and technical differences,there have been major obstacles to the implementation of cross-border mutual recognition of electronic signatures.In China,due to regulatory approval,it is even more difficult to carry out cross-border mutual recognition of electronic signatures.From a legal perspective,this paper first analyzes the reasons for the difficulty of mutual recognition of electronic signatures;then,introduces successful implementation schemes within the EU and summarizes what China can learn from the EU scheme;finally,puts forward that under the existing conditions,China can promote the compliant and orderly development of cross-border authentication and signature business through allowing regulatory authorities to clarify the approval requirements,agreeing on the application of overseas laws in the contract terms,and guaranteeing proof with the help of blockchain technology.
