Rash That Itches And Looks Like A Sunburn

Firma elettronica e firma digitale

European legislation (Directive 1999/93/EC, published in the Official Journal, Series L, No. 013, January 19, 2000) plans to ensure security and trust in electronic communications defining a European framework for digital signatures. Are defined as an electronic signature that matches any symbol identification made in electronic format and a advanced electronic signature, which corresponds to a symbol instead uniquely identification of who has produced a document or created or used a computer procedure. The uniqueness must be certified by an appropriate body and the signature must have been entered by a safe procedure, which protects the document signed and the procedure undertaken by intruders. In short, the document or procedure are made inaccessible to third parties, that is encrypted.
Italy, to transpose the European directive, he renamed the advanced electronic signature as an electronic signature qualified and introduced another type of signature, calling digital signature .
Let me try to understand what this digital signature. It is, as defined by Italian legislation (Legislative decree of March 7, 2005, No. 82, published in Ordinary Supplement No 93 in the Official Gazette No. 112 of 05.19.2005), an electronic signature, obtained through a procedure that the same law provides. In the face of liberalization and free markets ... Certifiers, then, must be, in Italy, accredited . Accreditation is an optional procedure, according to the European Directive, Italy has readily accepted, and to make it more expensive to then "turn" the economy. In any case, you can be certified by a certifying the signature of any other State of the Union.
Last but not least, the accreditation of certifiers is not yet operational, so in the meantime certifiers certifying its accreditation . The end of the period in which certifiers may self has been extended, with Prime Minister's February 10, 2010, 31 October 2011.
The problem for us professionals, but also for individuals, is that the process of computerization of the public administration shifts the costs to other sectors, but not reduce them. Perhaps, it increases them, as well as enhance the waste arising from the use of electronic equipment, the most difficult and expensive to dispose.
