Electronic records and digital authentication receive defined treatment across computer access, intermediary functions, cybersecurity, certification and verification.

Section 2 defines the legal framework for electronic records, computer resources, electronic authentication and cyber security. Digital and electronic signatures are authenticated through prescribed techniques, including asymmetric cryptography using private and public keys. Certifying Authorities issue Electronic Signature Certificates to subscribers and verification confirms both valid signature creation and record integrity. Intermediaries include entities that receive, store, transmit or provide services concerning electronic records. Cyber security and secure systems require protection against unauthorised activity, reliability, functional suitability and accepted security procedures.
