Clerk E-Certify is the product of thorough and rigorous engineering processes. Clerk E-Certify uses advanced cryptographic techniques to protect the documents. Its base standard uses the 2048-bit RSA key (a.k.a. asymmetric cryptography) for validating identity (signing) and ensuring that the document content is protected against any tampering. Just how hard is to “break” an 2048-bit RSA key based certificate like those provided by Clerk E-Certify? It is estimated that standard desktop computing power would take 4,294,967,296 x 1.5 million years to break a Clerk E-Certify 2048-bit SSL certificate. The digital signature hardware is an FIPS 140-2 level 2 cryptographic hardware that is in compliance with U.S. government computer security standard used to approve cryptographic modules. When a document is digitally signed using Clerk E-Certify, the system embeds sufficient information within the document to indicate the long term validity of the document for years to come.

Uniform Electronic Transaction Act provides the basic framework under which electronic signatures are valid in lieu of a manual signature. Florida statute 668.50(9)(a) provides that an electronic record or electronic signature has the same legal effect and enforceability as a manual signature.

Section 668.50(2)(n) defines the term "security procedure". Section 668.003(3) defines the term "digital signature", which is the technology used by Clerk E-Certify to create the documents.
