However, a critical factor in ensuring their legal validity and security is <\/span><\/i><b><i>identification of signatories during the e-signing process.<\/i><\/b><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Verifying the identity of the contract signatory is not only a legal requirement but also plays a crucial role in preventing the risk of fraud and disputes.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h3><b>Identification and digital signatures: An inseparable link<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18861\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.fpt-is.com\/en\/sites\/3\/1-1730257990.jpg\" alt=\"1 1730257990\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.fpt-is.com\/en\/sites\/3\/1-1730257990.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/cdn.fpt-is.com\/en\/sites\/3\/1-1730257990-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cdn.fpt-is.com\/en\/sites\/3\/1-1730257990-406x271.jpg 406w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In electronic contracts, <\/span><b>digital signatures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> are commonly used to confirm identity and guarantee the information integrity. However, a digital signature holds value only when it is securely tied to the identity of the individual or organization signing the document. This is particularly important in the digital age, where the potential for identity fraud and illegal transactions has become increasingly sophisticated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Electronic identification<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> involves verifying the signer identity through advanced technologies like <\/span><b>eKYC (Electronic Know Your Customer)<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. This process ensures that the transaction participant is verified at the time of signing, preventing signature forgery and confirming that the signer is indeed the intended party. According to the <\/span><b>Global Cybersecurity Alliance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, electronic contracts lacking identity verification increase the risk of fraud by <\/span><b>40%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> compared to those with comprehensive identification.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The importance of identification in electronic transactions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Without clear identification and a verified digital signature, an electronic contract is exposed to significant legal risks. In case of a dispute, determining the real signer becomes a complex challenge, not only complicating the resolution process but also giving parties room to evade responsibility. Statistics from the <\/span><b>Ministry of Justice<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> indicate that <\/span><b>60%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of disputes involving electronic contracts stem from the inability to verify the signer\u2019s identity at the time of signing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Moreover, contracts without proper identification may be rejected by financial institutions, banks, and state agencies. This can render the contract invalid, leading to severe financial and reputational consequences for involved parties. The <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">International Association for Trusted Blockchain Applications &#8211; INATBA <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reports that about <\/span><b>35%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> of electronic contracts lacking clear identity verification are denied recognition by third parties.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><a href=\"https:\/\/econtract.fpt.com.vn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FPT.eContract<\/a> solution: Ensuring security in identification and digital signatures<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18862\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.fpt-is.com\/en\/sites\/3\/2-1730257993.png\" alt=\"2 1730257993\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this context, <\/span><b>FPT.eContract<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> is a solution addressing issues related to identification and digital signatures in electronic contracts.
