FRANCE
A chain of conidence was initially used only in the publishing process.
the chain of conidence was organised by the oficial journal directorate for
the purpose of authenticating the electronic version of the oficial journal. the
chain of conidence was based on the probative value of electronic evidence
being given the same status as the traditional paper document. to back up this
principle, the legislator allowed two conditions on the principle of equality:
‘that it should be possible for the person from whom it emanates to be duly
identiied and that it should be kept under conditions that will ensure integrity.’
these conditions were incorporated into the chain of conidence.
In france, a government worklow system called SOLON has been established
