The system to authenticate electronic documents, which was approved by the sub-decree last year, will take at least another year before it is fully implemented. According to Mr. Ou Phannarith, the director of the department of ICT security at the Ministry of Post and Telecommunication, since there is no digital signature system in Cambodia, the origin of the documents are difficult to verify. He added that once the digital signature system is fully implemented, there is no need for in-person signature to verify the identity of the registrant in online platform such as taxation and business registration.
