OSBEELS: Update on Digital Signatures, Fall 2008

Often times the terms electronic signature and digital signature are misconstrued as the same terms. However, registrants are cautioned that the electronic signature and digital signature are distinctly different with respect to the information security world.

In October 2007, the Professional Practices Committee (PPC) met with the Rules & Regulations (R&R) Committee to continue the discussion of digital signatures.

With the assistance of Ron Singh, PLS, the R&R Committee drafted language for Oregon Administrative Rules (OARs) 820-010-0010, 820-010-0620, and 820-015-0010 to incorporate the use of digital signatures.

During the July 8, 2008 Board meeting, the amendments to the aforementioned rules were finalized. Click here for a PDF document summarizing the details, or visit OSBEELS website at www.osbeels.org and click on the "proposed rulemaking" link.
