Technology standards in Cambodia
The requirements for electronic signature technology vary significantly between countries. Cambodian law does not require the use of specific technology for electronic signature, nor does it recognize different types of electronic signature. Other countries—particularly those in the EU, South America, and other parts of Asia—follow tiered eSignature models that may require specific technical requirements and/or independent accreditation by a local certification body.
