N.M. Admin. Code § 1.12.7.9 - ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES COMPARED TO DIGITAL SIGNATURES
A. "Electronic signature" is the term used
for the electronic equivalent of a handwritten signature. It is a generic,
technology- neutral term that refers to the universe of all of the various
methods by which one can "sign" an electronic record. Although all electronic
signatures may be represented digitally (i.e., as a series of ones and zeroes),
they can take many forms and can be created by many different
technologies.
B. "Digital
signature" is the term used to describe the small segment of encrypted data
produced when a specific mathematical process (involving a hash algorithm and
public key cryptography) is applied to an electronic record.
