Topic: "ELECTRONIC AND DIGITAL SIGNATURES"
Speaker: Jean-François Blanchette
At the turn of the millennium, electronic signatures seemed on the verge of bringing law and order to the wild frontier of electronic documents. A worldwide wave of legal reform had cleared the way for their admissibility as evidence in courts; standardization bodies produced thick volume after thick volume of detailed specifications for public-key infrastructures (PKI), cryptographic algorithms, certification authorities, revocation lists, etc.; and venture capitalists lavished untold amounts of cash on an industry predicted to enjoy multi-billion growth. A mere 10 years later, electronic signatures have all but disappeared from both marketplace and public consciousness. In this presentation, I will investigate this failure to perform through an exploration of issues of risk, liability, proof, evidence, and user friendliness, as realized in competing models of electronic signatures, with specific attention to the thorny issue of retention.

Between 1999 and 2001, he was an invited researcher at the CNRS in Paris, where he investigated the definition of a new legal framework for recognizing the evidential value of electronic documents, including those produced by notaries, baillifs and judges.

He teaches in the area of electronic records management, digital preservation, and social dimensions of computing, and has conducted training seminars for the SAA, the "Ecole nationale du patrimoine" and the "Association des professionels de l'information et de la documentation" (ADBS) in France.
