Electronic Signature in Moroccan legislation_accompartive study

Abstract

As a result of technological development and digitization, new legal transactions and contracts, carried out through electronic devices, do not require the presence of the parties during the contract, and given the seriousness of this type of behavior, particularly those relating to the financial aspect, safeguards had to be provided to remove these obstacles, the electronic signature is one of the most important safeguards associated with electronic transactions, which can only be assigned to their owners and identified by their respective owners. It concluded that the Moroccan legislator, as well as the Algerian and French legislations, had approved the insured electronic signature, provided that it acquired all legal requirements, such as documentation and its ability to identify the personality of its editor, expressing its will, highlighting the link between the signature and its owner, with a secure certificate.
