Signing a document is the most important reason for the document's approval and acceptance of the content of the document by the Contracting Party. In this sense, security is so important in such a process, and the entry of this process in digital and electronic space make the importance of this issue twice. Therefore, without the necessary infrastructure in the digital environment, there is no possibility of providing electronic services. The need to legislate alongside these technologies to provide this security is one of the most effective ways of realizing this issue So, in this research, we first briefly and comprehensively examine and explain the electronic signatures in different legal systems, and then we examine the different approaches of these systems to the issue of security of electronic signatures. In a way that through studying some of the laws of different countries, including the United States, France and Iran it should be possible to determine an approach which is appropriate to the issue of security in the field of electronic signatures.
