Abstract

The widespread adoption of digital signatures in various electronic transactions and communications has brought increased attention to their associated legal risks. This study systematically analyzes technical, legal, and evidence admissibility risks to uncover the key legal challenges digital signatures face under different probability scenarios. The findings indicate a significant increase in technical risk within high-probability scenarios, underscoring the need for robust technical safeguards in high-risk transactions. Legal risk remains consistently high across all scenarios, particularly in high-probability ones, highlighting the necessity for a sound legal framework. In addition, evidence admissibility risk peaks in medium to high probability scenarios, indicating the need to bolster the evidentiary effectiveness of digital signatures in these situations. This study’s conclusions offer valuable insights into the legal risk management of digital signatures, emphasizing the importance of implementing targeted risk prevention measures tailored to specific scenarios.
