Previously, 20 years ago, the E-Signature Act at the time requires a bilateral agreement in order to cross-recognize each other’s certificate authorities. As you know, for Taiwan to enter a bilateral trade agreement isn’t the easiest thing in the world. And so, in the new version, we simply said, OK, so there are standard organizations, like ISO, FidO, or W3C, and so on which we’re happily members of. And as long as a participating country and us are both members of that standard organization, or we both adhere to the same standards, then we can cross-recognize without a need for a bilateral agreement.
