  text: Identity-based cryptography has attracted attention in the cryptographic research
    community in recent years. Despite the importance of cryptographic schemes for
    applications in business and law, the legal implications of identity-based cryptography
    have not yet been discussed. We investigate how identity-based signatures fit
    into the legal framework. We focus on the European Signature Directive, but also
    take the UNCITRAL Model Law on Electronic Signatures into account. In contrast
    to previous assumptions, identity-based signature schemes can, in principle, be
    used even for qualified electronic signatures, which can replace handwritten signatures
    in the member states of the European Union. We derive requirements to be taken
    into account in the development of future identity-based signature schemes.
