ESIGN Act (Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act)

US federal legislation (2000) providing that no electronic signature may be denied legal effect solely because it is in electronic form. Technology-neutral: does not mandate any specific cryptographic method. State-level parallel is the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA).
