Law No. 2014-025 on Electronic Signature
The Presidency of the Republic of Madagascar enacted Law No. 2014-025 to establish legal equivalence and security for electronic signatures relative to handwritten ones. The legislation defines key terms, mandates the equal treatment of all signature techniques regardless of form, and presumes reliability when specific integrity and control conditions are met. It further outlines signatory obligations, empowers accredited certification service providers to validate signatures, and grants foreign electronic certificates and signatures full legal effect in Madagascar provided they offer substantially equivalent reliability.
