You should implement security measures, both in relation to hardware and software, to protect confidentiality and ensure authentication and verification of parties to contracts. This includes implementing quality technical and business solutions, such as the use of public key infrastructure to identify parties to contracts, setting out relevant disclaimers in your terms and conditions and maintaining accurate electronic transaction records.
