The execution of any document includes affixing a signature. Her electronic variant performs the same function of verifying everything stated in the text as the original.

Electronic signature protects electronic documentation during storage or transmission, providing identification of the document owner.

Why is an electronic signature convenient?

The main task of using digital signature is guarantee the authenticity of the electronic document, so she performs props, protecting the document from forgery.

But what is needed in order to electronic document had legal force? And how to prove the legal validity of an electronic document in court?

An electronic lawyer answers these questions. trading system B2B-Center Dmitry Kazantsev.

Legal force of electronic

document

Current Russian legislation recognizes the possibility of executing a transaction using an electronic document, provided that such documents are signed with an electronic signature. The relevant norms are enshrined in Art. 434 Civil Code RF and in Part 4 of Art. eleven Federal Law dated July 27, 2006 No. 149-FZ “On information, information technology and on the protection of information" (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 149-FZ).

IN electronic form Not only contracts, but also primary and summary contracts can be drawn up accounting documents- provided that they are certified by an electronic signature (Article 9 of the Federal Law of November 21, 1996 No. 129-FZ “On Accounting”). Article 169 Tax Code The Russian Federation directly allows for the preparation and issuance of invoices in electronic form via mutual agreement parties to the transaction and if they have compatible technical means for acceptance and provided that the electronic invoice is signed with a qualified electronic signature of the head of the company or a person authorized by him (the procedure for issuing and receiving invoices in electronic form is approved by order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 25, 2011 No. 50n, and the formats for them are by order of the Federal Tax Service Russia No. ММВ-7-6/138@. Author's note).

Thus, key element any electronic document evidencing his legal force and confirming the fact of referral proper party, is an electronic signature. Its presence is not the last fact and during judicial trial, and therefore about legal regulation electronic signature needs to be said in more detail.

Electronic

In paragraph 1 of Art. 6 of the Federal Law dated 04/06/2011 No. 63-FZ “On Electronic Signatures” (hereinafter referred to as Law No. 63-FZ) it is established that according to general rule information in electronic form signed with a qualified electronic signature is recognized as an electronic document equivalent to a document on on paper, signed handwritten signature. A similar norm is established in paragraph 3 of Art. 11 of Law No. 149-FZ. This requirement is formulated as imperative norm, however, the courts have the right to recognize the proper certification of information and simple signature, which is what they often do in practice.

Here we come to the question of the types of electronic signatures legalized in modern Russian legislation. Article 5 of Law No. 63-FZ calls the following types electronic signature:

1. Simple electronic signature.

When using it, the fact of generating an electronic signature certain person confirmed through the use of codes, passwords or other means.

2. Enhanced electronic signature.

She must:

1) formed as a result of cryptographic transformation of information using an electronic signature key;

2) allow you to identify the person who signed the electronic document;

3) make it possible to detect the fact of making changes to an electronic document after its signing;

4) created using electronic signature tools.

3. Enhanced qualified electronic signature.

Enhanced electronic signatures are divided into qualified and unqualified. The verification key for an enhanced qualified electronic signature must be indicated in the qualified certificate.

Information in electronic form signed with a simple electronic signature or a non-qualified electronic signature is recognized as an electronic document equivalent to a paper document signed with a handwritten signature. If, in accordance with law or custom business turnover the document must be certified by a seal, then an electronic document signed with an enhanced electronic signature is recognized as equivalent to a paper document signed with a handwritten signature and certified by a seal. This rule is established by parts 2 and 3 of Art. 6 of Law No. 63-FZ. In other words, a simple and unqualified electronic signature corresponds to an autograph, and an enhanced signature corresponds to authenticating a document with a signature and seal. Thus, an enhanced unqualified signature can be recognized as both an analogue of a signature and an analogue of a signature with a seal.

Electronic

document in court

Documents sent via Email, in accordance with the above classification, can be called signed with a simple electronic signature. However, the court may recognize the exchange of such documents as a proper conclusion of a contract if the circumstances of the case indicate the reality of the transaction: for example, the delivery of goods is carried out, which is confirmed by invoices, delivery notes and payment orders. In particular, such legal position confirmed by the decision of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation dated October 17, 2008 No. 13675/08.

The electronic document is submitted to the court in printed form with the identification of the head or authorized employee of the organization submitting it to the court. this document. This certificate must indicate that the printed paper copy corresponds to the electronic original. If a document is signed with a simple electronic signature, then at least the date and time of generation of such an electronic document and the party sending this document must be clear from the submitted printout. If the electronic document is signed enhanced signature, then the printout should contain special mark about affixing an electronic signature.

The court may recognize an agreement concluded via e-mail if each party has provided identical printouts of such an agreement. Moreover, they themselves are even identical paper copies, not confirmed by other evidence, cannot serve as a fact of confirmation of the conclusion of the contract. But what to do if the evidence has not been collected, and the copies of contracts submitted by the parties contain different conditions? It is to prevent such situations during legal proceedings that it is necessary to certify it with an enhanced qualified electronic signature even when concluding an agreement.

Such a signature will allow you to certify two fundamental points: firstly, that the agreement was signed by the proper party (since the certificate is personal and is issued indicating the position of the signatory), and secondly, that the document signed with an enhanced qualified electronic signature remained unchanged after signing.

In Part 1 of Art. 4 of the Federal Law of January 10, 2002 No. 1-FZ “On Electronic Digital Signature”, which is still in force, established following signs, if simultaneously observed, an electronic digital signature is considered equivalent to a handwritten one:

1. The signature key certificate is valid at the time of verification or at the time of signing the electronic document.

2. The authenticity of the electronic signature in the electronic document is confirmed.

3. The electronic signature is used in accordance with the information specified in the signature key certificate.

The authenticity of an electronic signature and the immutability of an electronic document signed with this signature can be confirmed by the certification center that issued such a signature. If a dispute arises in court about the content of an electronic document, it is necessary to order an examination from a certification center. He will also be able to confirm the validity of the signature certificate at the time of signing the electronic document.

It is necessary to take into account the fact that a certification center cannot confirm or deny the authenticity of an electronic signature issued by another certification center. Therefore, if an electronic document is certified by several electronic signatures issued by different certification centers, then in the event of a dispute about the contents of the document, an examination will need to be ordered from each of these certification centers.
