Figure 6.3

Simulation of the new notarial contractual scene, staged and projected on a screen at the 2004 Annual Meeting of the profession. On the lower left-hand corner of the screen, parties and their notaries can witness their mutual consent through a video link. The new rules for electronic authentic acts mandate the continuing inclusion of handwritten signatures as well as the application of the cryptographic signatures of the notaries.

In spite of these successes, another four years of technological and institutional fine tuning would elapse before a full-blown ceremony could officially signal the start of the electronic notarial age. On October 28, 2008, Rachida Dati, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seals, used a graphical pad to apply her handwritten signature to the first official electronic authentic act (see figure 6.4). After the president of the Conseil supérieur followed suit with his cryptographic signature, the deed was finally done. There was no doubt, however, that the scene of theses signatures differed in fundamental respects from the one initially envisioned by cryptographers in figure 4.2.
