Electronic signature and cybersecurity rule-making expands to cover authentication, data protection, intermediaries, monitoring, and protected systems.

Rule-making authority under section 87 is expanded to cover electronic signature reliability, authentication procedures, Electronic Signature Certificates, subscriber duties, reasonable security practices, and sensitive personal data. It also extends to service-provider charges, information retention, interception, decryption, public-access blocking, traffic-data collection, protected-system security, agency functions, intermediary guidelines, and encryption methods. The laying provision is aligned with notifications concerning the national nodal agency.
