We still send messages via fax, because a document you sign and send by email isn't a legally signed document, wheras a fax is. I had to print out a PDF, sign it, and and fax it a week ago for this reason.
- craigds 9y agoIs that true? In NZ a digital signature is a legal signature. You dont have to print and scan it, just type your name. Legit signed.
- pishpash 9y agoFor acknowledgement of disclosure this is done or sometimes for vouching for truthfulness. These seem like relieving another party of liability. But for giving up rights and such, I haven't seen that (typing a name) being sufficient. There is technology to do true cryptographic digital signatures (not these fake "digital" signatures), but society doesn't seem particularly interested in that at the moment.
- gozur88 9y agoThere seemed to be a movement in that direction a few years back, but I haven't seen anything in awhile.
- nofilter 9y agoIn Estonia, an email is a legally signed document. We also have Digital Signatures via our Electronic IDs. You must live in a third world country, because I haven't even seen a fax machine in the past 15 years.
