How to choose a third party electronic signing platform for the use of electronic contracts in procu

Third-party signing platforms need to have identity authentication technology, digital signature technology, and timestamp technology.

Among them, most of the platforms cooperate with CA institutions, submit applications to CA institutions, and issue legally recognized CA certificates to users to effectively prove the real identity of users. However, a small number of platforms have adopted the cooperation with the public security department to achieve user identification with the help of the EID system. As for the specific technology, although there are many categories, the principle is basically the same.

It is more convenient to have face recognition, mobile phone verification, etc.

In terms of digital signature technology, they are more consistent, and almost all of them use hash digest technology. The so-called hash digest technology mainly refers to the conversion of electronic documents into a numerical value through some technical means. If an electronic file is altered, this value will also change immediately, so that tampering can be quickly identified.

It is worth mentioning that in terms of digital signature technology, we are an enterprise that has adopted blockchain technology.

In terms of timestamp technology, all third-party platforms cooperate with the National Time Service Center without exception to accurately record the contract time through the services it provides.

Although there is little difference in core technologies, in terms of platform security, commercial cryptography license, IS027001 certification, ISO27018, enterprise SaaS service "trusted cloud" certification, high-tech enterprise certification, double-software certification, value-added telecommunications business license, etc. are important qualifications for checking security assurance.

In addition, the excellent third-party electronic signing platform can also provide users with perfect legal services such as certification reports, judicial appraisals, and online arbitration, which provides greater convenience for individuals or enterprises to deal with contract disputes.

Enterprises and institutions and institutions often use a variety of methods such as "single, inquiry and bidding" to procure, complex and rigorous implementation process, each link has a lot of documents to sign, to seal.

Therefore, organizations can directly connect the electronic contract platform to the business system and OA software, and all the procurement documents are stamped with electronic seals, so that they can generate electronic procurement documents with the same legal effect as paper procurement documents. Completely open up the procurement management system, so that procurement is faster.

How to ensure the authenticity of the identity of the purchaser, the first merchant and the bid evaluation expert? How to ensure the validity of the signature? Has the file been tampered with?

The contract lock, electronic signature, CA digital certificate, and the whole process ensures the authenticity of the identity.

With the help of encryption technology, the files are monitored throughout the process, and once they are tampered with, they will be invalidated in time.

Provide evidence preservation services to ensure that the documents are signed and can be verified.

Provide judicial appraisal to ensure the legitimacy and validity of documents.

The signing and sealing of all documents are fully electronic, which shortens the time for organizing the signing of procurement contracts, and also helps the whole process of procurement to be electronic with the help of an open platform environment. Help organizations achieve secure, convenient, and paperless procurement management.

For small and medium-sized businesses, common forms of procurement include routine and ad hoc procurement. The procurement process is as follows: information collection, inquiry, price comparison, negotiation, evaluation, sample request, decision, requisition, ordering, coordination and communication, reminder, purchase inspection, sorting and payment.

During the procurement process, a large number of framework agreements, project costs and various attachment documents are required. If paper documents are used in the procurement process, both parties need to sign face-to-face or express signing, which affects the timeliness of the contract. If materials are involved in temporary procurement, there will be a delay in the coordination between the supply and demand sides.

In addition, if the procurement company and the first enterprise are not in the same place, it is necessary to send the contract by express delivery, if the procurement contract is lost in the delivery process, a large number of confidential information are all leaked, which will cause huge losses to both parties.

In addition, the procurement process information needs to be shared in real time, the use of paper contracts, the information in the process of chain operation is not transparent and smooth, and it is difficult for participants to understand the real-time progress of transaction matters, and the asymmetric information affects the efficiency of the entire chain, and ultimately affects the smooth coordination of the entire procurement process.

In addition, the storage of traditional paper documents takes up a lot of space, and a special person needs to be responsible for filing, archiving and management, which wastes manpower and material resources, and is very inconvenient to call.

Different from traditional contracts, electronic contracts need to ensure their legal validity through relevant technical means, such as how to confirm the identity and willingness of the subject with signatures and seals, how to prevent documents from being tampered with, and how to accurately record the time of signing. In this regard, the Electronic Signature Law also has clear provisions.

Article 13: Where an electronic signature meets the following conditions at the same time, it is deemed to be a reliable electronic signature:

1) When the data for the creation of electronic signatures is used for electronic signatures, it is the exclusive property of the electronic signatory;

2) At the time of signing, the electronic signature creation data is controlled only by the electronic signer;

3) any alteration of the electronic signature after signing can be detected;

iv)that any changes to the content and form of the data message after signature can be detected.

Parties may also choose to use electronic signatures that meet the reliable conditions they have agreed upon.

Article 14: Reliable electronic signatures have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures or seals.

Therefore, electronic signatures and seals are not just as simple as visual appearance, and it is difficult for individuals and ordinary enterprises to meet these requirements, and third-party electronic contract platforms have come into being. The core technologies for the realization of legally effective electronic contracts are generally as follows:

Authoritative authentication system: the use of national agency authentication technology to ensure the true identity of the electronic contract signatory;

Anti-tampering technology: The international universal hash value technology is used to solidify the original electronic file data, and it is easy to identify whether the file has been tampered with;

Third-party timing technology: accurately record the contract time.

In addition, the excellent third-party electronic signing platform can bring greater convenience and security, and at the same time can provide users with perfect legal services such as certification reports, judicial appraisals, and online arbitration, providing greater convenience for individuals or enterprises to deal with contract disputes.

Summary. Hello dear, at present, the electronic signing platform is mainly divided into three camps: camp 1:

Third-party electronic contract SaaS platforms launched by Internet start-ups, such as Fada; Camp 2: Third-party electronic contract SaaS platforms launched by established electronic signature or data preservation enterprises, such as eSignBao; Camp 3: Third-party electronic contract SaaS platforms launched by domestic CA certification bodies, such as peace of mind signing, etc.

Hello dear, at present, the electronic signing platform is mainly divided into three camps: camp 1: the third-party electronic contract SaaS platform launched by Internet startups, such as Fada; Camp 2:

Third-party electronic contract SaaS platforms launched by veteran electronic signature or data preservation enterprises, such as eSignBao; Camp 3: Third-party electronic contract SaaS platforms launched by domestic CA certification bodies, such as peace of mind signing, etc.

In the context of the Internet+ era, e-commerce has gradually penetrated into people's daily life, and third-party electronic contract platforms are rising: the form of contract signing has gradually shifted from paper contracts to electronic contracts, and the signature method has shifted from traditional handwritten signatures or seals to electronic signatures. The SaaS service of the electronic contract platform not only lowers the threshold for enterprise users, but also reduces the deployment time and cost, and at the same time is legal and reliable, and is favored by many enterprises.

A large number of electronic contract platforms have risen rapidly, such as Docusign, a popular electronic contract platform all over the world, which is currently raising Series F with a valuation of $3 billion. 2014-2017 is the three years of China's electronic contract platform market heating up rapidly, and some domestic entrepreneurs with a keen sense of smell have aimed at this blue ocean and set off an entrepreneurial boom in the field of electronic contracts. According to the research report released by the Mobile Information Research Center in 2017, the current domestic third-party electronic contract platform presents a trend of "three parts of the world".

Regarding this issue, the author believes that we should look at it from two levels:

First of all, the electronic contract referred to here needs to be on a third-party platform, and the author believes that it mainly refers to the storage of data messages for electronic contracts. Electronic contract data should be stored on a credible third-party platform, mainly from the perspective of the security and credibility of the contract data.

If the signatory and custodian of the contract are the same person, then in the future, when disputes arise in the future, the contract will inevitably be tampered with as direct evidence of dispute resolution. Therefore, Article 8 of the Electronic Signature Law sets out the criteria for reviewing the authenticity of electronic contract data as evidence, and the following factors shall be comprehensively considered:

1. Reliability of methods for generating, storing or transmitting data messages;

2. Maintain the reliability of the content integrity method;

3. The reliability of the method used to identify the sender;

4. Other relevant factors.

Based on the above analysis, electronic contracts need to be stored on a third-party platform.

Secondly, it is the explanation of the use of third-party platform services, which refers to electronic contract signing services on the one hand, and identity authentication services on the other. In the process of signing electronic contracts, it is necessary to verify that "you are you" through a series of technical means.

Article 16 of the Electronic Signature Law: Where an electronic signature requires third-party authentication, the legally-established electronic certification service provider shall provide authentication services. So, is the third-party electronic contract platform also qualified to provide electronic certification services?

In order to provide identity authentication services in a more timely and efficient manner, authoritative CA certification bodies will authorize qualified third-party electronic contract providers to apply for and call CA identity authentication services, so as to have the ability to provide identity authentication services to contract signatories (i.e., RA: Registration Authority, digital certificate registration and approval authority). RA is an extension of CA's certificate issuance management, which is responsible for the information entry, review and certificate issuance of certificate applicants, and completes the corresponding management functions for the issued certificates.

Combining the above two points, whether it is the signing of electronic contracts, identity authentication, or the storage of data messages, enterprises and organizations can choose a reliable third-party electronic contract platform to sign a legally valid electronic contract.

An electronic contract concluded through a third-party electronic signing platform and signed using reliable electronic signature technology is a legal and valid electronic contract.

The Electronic Signature Law clearly stipulates that "reliable electronic signatures have the same legal effect as handwritten signatures or seals", and "if electronic signatures require third-party authentication, the certification services shall be provided by an electronic certification service provider established in accordance with the law".

If an enterprise builds a set of online electronic signing platform by itself, it not only needs to meet a number of technical standards, but also has high cost, long cycle, time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is also contrary to the original intention of the enterprise to speed up and reduce costs through online signing.

Therefore, the use of a third-party e-signing platform not only complies with the provisions of the law, but also strictly follows the requirements of the Electronic Signature Law, which can lock the true identity of the contracting entity, prevent document tampering, and accurately record the signing time, so that the electronic contract has the same legal effect as a handwritten signature or seal.
