Digi-Sign enters into agreement with Law Society
to provide digital certificates for practicing members

(Hong Kong, 8th December 2005) Digi-Sign Certification Services Limited (“Digi-Sign”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tradelink Electronic Commerce Limited (“Tradelink”), has entered into an agreement with the Law Society of Hong Kong to issue digital certificates to over 5,000 members of the Law Society who hold practicing certificates starting from the 2006 practicing year.

Digi-Sign has been keen to provide e-security solutions for various institutions and organizations. The certificates issued by Digi-Sign for the Law Society can identify the practicing status of each solicitor member when exchanging documents that require digital signatures with third parties.

According to the Law Society, it has spent great effort in evaluating a system for its solicitor members to sign electronic documents in such a way that the digital signatures of the solicitor members can be used to verify the identity of the members as well as the integrity of the signed documents.

Mr. Justin Yue, Chief Executive Officer of Tradelink, said, “The co-operation between Digi-Sign and the Law Society of Hong Kong signifies the milestone of digital certificate adoption for professional individuals in the territory, establishing a model for other professional organizations.”

“The benefits of the certificates are not only helping clients to identify solicitor’s practicing status, but also further promoting the electronic document exchange among the legal practitioners as well as with the government and other commercial entities,” Mr. Yue added.
