Yong Yong Hu is working on a dissertation with the working title 'De juridische eisen aan de betrouwbaarheid van digitale authenticatie en authenticiteit'.
In the past decade, technology has evolved rapidly and enabled many interactions. More and more people exchange information and conclude contracts online. In this context, many questions arise: who is behind the screen? How can we verify a person's identity to avoid identity fraud and other cybersecurity risks? And how can we ensure that the electronic documents we use have not been tampered with?
In her PhD research, Yong Yong Hu examines the legal requirements for the reliability of digital authentication and authenticity, and how this contributes to Europe's Digital Single Market strategy.
