摘要

在電子化應用日益普及下，各國爲建構安全的電子環境，無不大力推動電子簽章立法工作。以亞洲國家而言，韓國與日本即分別於1999年及千禧年制定「電子簽章法」與「電子簽名及認證業務法」，而我國亦於2001年施行現行的「電子簽章法」，其中，我國爲鼓勵各界投入「戀證構機」的經營，立法之初採取相對較爲寬鬆的管理策略，然此一看似美意的作法，卻成爲國內戀證產業遲遲無法與國際進行接軌的主因。有鑑於戀證在電子商務發展上的重要性，本文嘗試就日、韓戀證機構管理法制進行研析與比較，期了解兩者制度上的差異性與可供我國借鏡之處。此外，本文亦將在前開研究基礎上，剖析我國現行戀證機構管理規範不足之處，並嘗試提出數點修正建議，以助益我國憑證產業與電子商務整體環境之健全發展，並期我國「電子簽章法」相關規定，得與時俱進。

The civilization of human society closely correlates with the record and the transferring mode of information. Along with the development of internet and digital technology, traditional handwritten signature and seal are replacing by electronic signature, which make the ensuring of the truth of electronic document and other electronic messages to be possible. To assure the consistency of legal validity between the usage of electronic signatures and traditional signature, international organizations and major countries have passed several legislations or related regulations toward this issue. Within all kinds of electronic signature technology, digital signature has been generally accepted as the safest type of recent available technology. Thus, how to create a well-designed system to manage certificate authorities, which are eligible to issue certificates to the public, has been the most important issue for legislators. In Asia, Korea passed ”Electronic Signature Law” in 1999, and Japan also passed ”Electronic Signatures and Certification Service Law” in 2000. In this article, the author will first introduce and illustrate the certificate authority management regulations of Japan and Korea, and analyze the legislative differences between two countries. On the basis of materials above, the author will also try to point out the weakness of recent domestic legislation about the governing of certificate authority and offer some significant suggestions for future amendment of Electronic Signature Law in Taiwan.
