Re: [External Reviews] X9 TR-4 (digital signatures)

Digital Signatures and Electronic Signatures are very different.

Digital Signatures are not enforceable in financial services. They 
require electronic signatures (scans of a signed document).

Digital signatures has not been held up in financial cases as a 
"authenticity of a signature" and failed for non-repudiation.

Physical signatures and handwriting analysis does. You can steal 
someones private key but you cant steal their hand writing.
