E-sign.

The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Acts (E-Sign) is a federal digital signature law that goes into effect October 1, 2000. Like UETA, E-Sign recognizes the validity of signatures, contracts, or other records in electronic form. E-Sign specifically does not preempt UETA. However, it does preempt other "inconsistent" state laws. A primary motivation underlying the development of E-Sign was concern that state digital legislation was becoming a barrier to electronic commerce because of differing state requirements. Since UETA is more comprehensive than E-Sign, states may enact UETA. Colorado's Governor Bill Owens supports enacting UETA.

I just wonder that today if they do have some real significance in the online world . Various forms of legislation dealing with internet law have attempted to define and describe digital and electronic signatures for purposes of determining enforceability.The electronic signature capture is a very useful innovation, which keeps away the annoying waiting for a signature on a piece of document. This can be quite an obstacle in the normal flow of things, therefore more and more people adopt this solution.
