An amendment to the Electronic Signature Bill has passed its final second and third readings in the Israeli Knesset.

The amendment updates the measure in accordance with the latest technology in the field, acknowledging the legality of an electronic signature conveyed from one party to another via the internet.

The explanatory note to the bill states: “It is proposed to amend the law in order to adapt it to the changing reality in the field of electronic signatures and to remove barriers in this area.”
