11:15 a.m., ET | Consent, Intent, & Identity: Evaluating the Forensic Reliability of eSignature Solutions
In the two decades since the passage of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, a wide range of legally acceptable approaches to eSignature solutions have been developed. A key component of an eSignature is determining the identity of the signatory. There are two approaches to securing identity: extrinsic or biometric. Under the extrinsic approach, the proof of identity that connects the signatory to the transaction lies outside the signatory, connected instead by external infrastructure, and is therefore subject to decoupling. Under the biometric approach, the proof of identity is fundamentally linked to the signatory and not subject to decoupling. This session will explore this concept and evaluate various eSignature solutions in terms of their forensic reliability to identify a signatory from the perspective of a Forensic Document Examiner.

1 p.m., ET | New UCC Article 12 – Its Purpose, Provisions and Potential Impact
During its meeting this past July, the Uniform Law Commission approved the Amendments to the Uniform Commercial Code (2022), which are now recommended for enactment by the states. The Amendments, if adopted by the states, would both create a new Article 12 of the UCC (UCC Article 12) and revise other, related provisions of the UCC – especially in Article 9. The Amendments are wide ranging and cover a variety of topics and issues. This session will focus on the provisions of the Amendments, and particularly UCC Article 12, that address gaps in existing law governing the transfer of property rights (including both ownership rights and security interests) in certain assets that consist of, or are evidenced by, electronic records.
Key topics include:
• The perceived deficiencies in existing law and how the Amendments address them
• New rules for obtaining a super-priority property interest in certain types of digital assets, including electronic promissory notes – even if the notes don’t qualify as transferable records under ESIGN or the UETA
• Modernizing the rules for transfer and control of electronic chattel paper
• Choice-of-law issues that may complicate taking advantage of the Amendments in the short term | Margo Tank and David Whitaker | DLA Piper
