Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) Pack

Legal Values

The purpose of this Pack is to enable the creation of Advanced Electronic Signature (AES) in accordance with the Electronic Documents and Signatures Law of Macao SAR (EDS Law no. 5/2005) and others international standards.

The Law states that electronic records and their related Electronic Signatures are not to be denied legal effect, validity, or enforceability merely because they are in electronic form. Therefore it encourages the use of electronic signature as an alternative.
