Abstract
The legal issues which have arisen due to computer based handling of documents may be addressed by following the examples provided by the international standardisation of digital signatures and related services. A generally accepted definition of a digital document should be elaborated, founded upon the underlying legal principles and basic technical routines of electronic information handling. By these means questions concerning legal obstacles may be replaced by the creation of a legally unified regulation of traditional routines and IT-routines, with security maintained.
