- Legal Framework and Importance: Mexico has established a solid legal framework over 20 years for electronic signatures, particularly the Advanced Electronic Signature, which is recognized for its validity and security, aligning with international standards to facilitate digital transactions.
- Technical Standards and Security: The Advanced Electronic Signature employs standards like X.509v3 and biometric technologies to ensure authentication and integrity, providing a secure link between the signer and their identity, making it equivalent to handwritten signatures in legal standing.
- Challenges and Future Directions: Despite its benefits in efficiency, security, and cost reduction, challenges such as awareness, interoperability, and the need for regulatory updates remain, highlighting the importance of continued promotion and adaptation of electronic signatures in Mexico’s evolving digital landscape.
