What makes an electronic signature legally binding?

The legacy of an eSignature varies from one country to another and depends on the country’s local and federal laws. Compliance with ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS is what makes eSignature tools binding as market standards. ESignatures are even more legal than wet-ink equivalents in the eyes of the law due to their two-step authentication, industry-leading security standards, audit trails, and tamper-proofing.
