Abstract

Binding electronic documents to persons are usually achieved by using electronic signatures that are created off-line. It is argued that this approach hinders both the widespread usage and the long-term applicability of e-government services. In order to enable e-government uptake, a new on-line electronic document service is to be offered in Hungary. The legal background for the new service was laid down by the Hungarian counterpart of the Regulation 910/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council.
