Federal Agency Digital Signature Act (FADSA)

The Federal Agency Digital Signature Act (FADSA) is legislation that establishes the legal framework for using digital signatures by federal government agencies. It recognizes that electronic signatures, when properly authenticated, hold the same legal weight as traditional handwritten signatures. This act facilitates efficient and secure electronic communications and transactions within government entities and between the government and the public. By promoting the use of digital signatures, FADSA aims to enhance the reliability, efficiency, and integrity of electronic documentation in federal operations.
