The future of authentication
The software for the eCMR, developed by member companies within the Open Logistics Foundation, provides the long-demanded basis for the digital and efficient organisation of international goods transport. The solution does not rely on the electronic signature, which would correspond to the analogue personal signature customary for consignment notes today, but on the advanced electronic seal – an interview with Dr. Detlef Hühnlein, Founder and Managing Director of the signature expert ecsec.
