| Program history: In 1997, the Oregon Legislature passed the Digital Signature Act. Responsibility for administering the registration provisions was assigned to the Department of Consumer and Business Services, Division of Finance and Corporate Securities. |
Beginning on Nov. 16, 1998, the Division made available a procedure for registering Authentication Authorities who issue digital signatures. |
Registration under the Act is voluntary. Persons who choose not to register under the act may still legally offer or sell digital signature authentication services in Oregon. |
As of Dec. 31, 2005, one authority was registered. |
