WSDOT Document Management Strategic Plan

Electronic Signatures at WSDOT DRAFT 1/11/07Q & A - Electronic Signatures at WSDOT


78/87

1.) What is the difference between an electronic signature and a digital signature?

2.) What types of electronic signature technologies are available and how could they be applied at WSDOT?

3.) What are the RCW and WAC requirements for digital signatures?

4.) Are there any changes to the RCW or WAC that would help WSDOT?

5.) When a person retires or leaves WSDOT what happens to their digital certificate and any records they signed?

6.) Is software or file format a consideration for using electronic signatures?

7.) Do engineering documents engineer present any challenges for using electronic signatures as they are currentlystamped and signed?

8.) How do we guarantee electronic records that have a long archive life such as engineering plans and real estate

documents are accessible and viewable in the future?

9.) What WSDOT documents require a signature? Are we signing some documents just because that's how it hasalways been done?

10.) What is needed in order to implement electronic signatures at WSDOT?

11.) Does WSDOT currently manage electronic documents in a manner that supports electronic signatures?

12.) What costs are associated with implementing electronic signatures?
