Social Distancing and the Use of Electronic Signatures under Turkish Law – Lexology

As a precaution against the rapid spread of the global pandemic, many of the companies switched to remote working strategies and started to apply social distance rules to mitigate the effect of the Covid-19. With the increase in the number of people working remotely, companies and organizations will undoubtedly have to think about how to execute documents and contracts, along with the measures taken against the Covid-19. Even though economic life will slow down in this process, many routine contracts will be renewed, works and services will continue where they left off to adjust this new life, whenever possible. Providing flexibility and efficiency in cross-border transactions, electronic signatures (e-signatures) can eliminate many of these problems and provide more security than scanning and e-mailing wet signatures.

What are the Types of E-Signatures?

E-signature can be defined as a concept that includes methods based on people's biometric features (such as voice, eye retina scan, fingerprint scan); handwritten signature which has been scanned to be transmitted to the electronic environment, a signature made with a pen on the computer screen or a digital signature created by double key cryptography.

Are E- Signatures Valid Under Turkish Law?

E-signature is regulated under Electronic Signature Law No. 5070 (Law No. 5070). Unlike the European Union Regulation on Electronic Identification and Trust Services for Electronic Transactions in the Internal Market No. 910/2014, Law No. 5070 accepts only secure electronic signature as the valid electronic signature and does not make a distinction between simple, qualified and advanced electronic signature.

As per the article 4 of the Law No. 5070, secure electronic signature is defined as an electronic signature (i) which is specifically designated to the signatory, (ii) which is only at the disposal of the signatory and created with the secure electronic signature creation tool, (iii) which provides the identification of the signatory based on the qualified electronic certificate and (iv) capable of indicating whether any alterations have been made to the document after the creation of the electronic signature. Accordingly, the electronic signature must be a secure electronic signature in order for it to create same legal effects as a handwritten signature. Meaning that documents signed using a secured e-signature has the same conclusive force as the handwritten signature thus qualify as a material evidence in legal proceedings.

Are There any Restrictions to Use E-Signature?

While Contracts, where the law does not require written form, can be easily established through electronic communication tools as per freedom of form principle; in cases where the law mandates a written form, the contracts to be made without complying this condition will be deemed invalid. Under article 5 of the Law No. 5070, certain contracts may not be signed electronically such as guarantee letters, real estate sales contracts and motor vehicles sales contracts. Further, Turkish Commercial Code (TCC) article 1526 sets forth additional restrictions. Accordingly; policies, bonds, check receipts, warrants and bills of exchange and transactions regarding to these cannot be issued with a secure e-signature.

Choosing the Type of E-Signature to be Used

In order to choose what type of e-signature to use, it is crucial to determine the most practical way while using the type which provides security measures that is capable to authenticate the signatory. The commonly used, secure and known form of electronic signature today is secure electronic signature (digital signature). Secure electronic signature weakens claims that the signatory has not read the document or has not signed by using double key cryptography technique and thus creates a bore reliable business relationship. E-signatures can be acquired from an electronic certificate provider authorized by Turkish Information and Communication Technologies Authority.

There is another type of an electronic signature called biometric signature which is mostly used when signing e-commerce home delivery service agreements on a tablet or computer. Biometric signature is an e- signature application in the form of data obtained by digitizing some of the personal characteristics of people such as voice, fingerprint, eye retina scan, movements, speed, acceleration, pencil strokes and lifts to the text to be signed. Although it is seen in practice that some companies and public administrations provide services by using biometric signatures, it does not have a conclusive force by itself unlike wet signature or a secure electronic signature under Turkish law. In order to provide this conclusive force, strict measures must be taken using biometric signature panels that can access private databases. With the use of these panels, personal data such as pressure, azimuth angle, height, velocity, acceleration, coordinates and signing time are also collected, as well as the personal data received to verify signatures from the person when signing that signature. Additionally, it will not be enough to collect this information, it must also be stored in encrypted form and it is necessary to develop a strict data protection policy and follow the operation of this policy in order to avoid any problems in case of a possible conflict due to the uncertainty in the legislation.

Is it Possible to E-Sign a Document with a Foreign Entity?

As per the article 14 of Law No. 5070, the legal results of electronic certificates (e-certificate) issued by an e-certificate provider established in a foreign country shall be determined by international agreements. Additionally, in case that an e-certificate issued by a foreign e-certificate provider shall be recognized as a qualified e-certificate provided that the admissibility of foreign e-certificate is recognized by a Turkish e-certificate provider. In this respect, it is possible to sign a document using e-signature with European Countries since the European Union E-Signature Directive No. 99/93 (Directive) and countries such as United Kingdom, Hong Kong and China, United States and Russian Federation which recognizes the admissibility of qualified e-certificates as long as the concerned Turkish e-certificate provider fulfils relevant requirements of such countries.

How a girl grasped the Holy Grail of encryption and changed the paradigm for safely sharing data – SiliconANGLE

Women are a minority in tech, with an average of three men for every one woman. When it comes to cybersecurity, the imbalance is even more acute.

A 2020 report shows that female cybersecurity experts are outnumbered five to one by their male counterparts. Inside the National Security Agency, cybersecuritys inner sanctum, the ratio is anyones guess.So the fact that a woman not only entered, but conquered and emerged victorious, from the NSA andwith the rights to market the ultimate encryption treasureis a feat worthy of attention.

How did she do it?Math, said Ellison Anne Williams (pictured), founder and chief executive officer of Enveil Inc. Math and grit.

Williams spoke withJohn Furrier, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Medias mobile livestreaming studio, during the RSA Conference in San Francisco. They discussed her time at the NSA and how homomorphic cryptography provides the missing link in the cybersecurity chain.

The treasure Williams carried from the NSA is one that has often been described as the Holy Grail of cryptologists: Homomorphic encryption. Developed within the NSA by researchers wanting to maintain security for data in-use,the technology enables data to be handled securely while remaining encrypted.

This week theCUBE spotlights Williams in its Women in Tech feature.

Data security has three parts: data at rest, data in transit, and data at use, explained Williams. The first part involves securing data at rest on the file system and the database.This would be your more traditional in-database encryption, she said.

The second part is securing data as its moving around through the network, known as data in transit. The third part of the data security process is securing data that is in-use data under analysis or search. This is when the data is both at its most vulnerable and its most valuable.

While there are many security solutions for both data at rest and in transit, protecting data while it is being processed has always been the weak point. Data was secure before and after processing but had to be decrypted in order to be accessed, then re-encrypted. Homomorphic encryption solves that issue.

It means we can do things like take searches or analytics, encrypt them, and then go run them without ever decrypting them at any point during processing, Williams explained.

With her blonde curls and Southern charm, Williams doesnt match the stereotype of a socially awkward cybersecurity specialist. But while her looks may cause some to double-take at business meetings, her intelligence and expertise are indisputable. Williams holds adoctorate in mathematics (algebraic combinatorics) from North Carolina State University and two masters degrees, one in mathematics from the University of South Carolina and another in computer science from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.

As an undergrad, Williams was a pre-med student with a plan to study infectious diseases. Instead, she fell in love with math and became an expert in distributed computing and algorithms, cryptographic applications, graph theory, combinatorics, machine learning, and data mining.

After graduating from North Carolina State, Williams joined the research team at the NSA, where she spent 12 years doing a little bit of everything, including large-scale analytics, information security and privacy, computer network exploitation, and network modeling. She also advocated for women to join the NSAs team and mentored her male colleagues.

During her last few years at the NSA, she had the opportunity to work at The John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. It was there that she worked on homomorphic encryption as part of a larger project for the NSA.

Although she had worked in research her whole career, Williams had always harbored entrepreneurial dreams. So when she learned she could declassify some of her research through the NSA Technology Transfer Program, she jumped at the chance to create a homomorphic encryption solution for the marketplace.

The idea of homomorphic encryption is not new. The concept has been around since 1978, but a first-generation fully homomorphic solution wasnt proposed until 2009. Research continued, and second- and third-generation fully homomorphic solutions were proposed. But problems remained with implementing these solutions at scale.

With the launch of Enveil Inc. in 2016, Williams took a bet that by combining the entrepreneurship in her DNA with the results of her years of research at John Hopkins and the NSA she could change that.

Less than a year after founding, the company got the cybersecurity communitys attention at the finals of theRSA Innovation Sandbox. Thats where the conversation really started to change around this technology called homomorphic encryption, the market category space called securing data in use, and what that meant, Williams said.

Williams expected a surprised reaction when the community discovered Enveil had a market-ready homomorphic encryption solution. She didnt expect that big-name early adopters, such as Bloomberg Beta, Thomson Reuters Corp., Capital One Financial Corp., and Mastercard Inc., would be eager to strategically invest in the company.

The enthusiasm is because homomorphic encryption solves the problem of secure data sharing. New technologies such as machine learning rely on ingesting massive amounts of data. Being restricted to just one data source limits the potential for powerful insights, but sharing data resources for analysis is a risky business.

There are also codes and regulations that govern data sharing, such as Europes General Data Protection Regulationand the California Consumer Privacy Act, which limit how data can be managed.Not to mention, people can get upset if they discover a company has a cavalier attitude tosharingpersonal data; as Google discovered withProject Nightingale.

This makes the ability to maintain anonymity and security while sharing data critically important for businesses, especially those in the financial sectors, where the payoff and the risks are high stakes. Say a bank suspects a client of financial misconduct, such as money laundering, and as part of establishing the trail, it needs to verify transactions with other institutions.

[Banks] cant necessarily openly, freely share all the information. But if I can ask you a question and do so in a secure and private capacity, still respecting all the access controls that youve put in place over your own data, then it allows that collaboration to occur, Williams stated.

Homomorphic encryption enables the data to be searched while remaining encoded, so no personally identifiable information is ever revealed and regulation compliance and security is ensured.

Current use casesamong Enveils clients include financial regulation, with banks able to securely share information to combat money laundering and other fraudulent activity. Global transactions are simplified by allowing collaboration regardless of national privacy restrictions. And in healthcare, hospitals and clinics can share patient details to research facilities and remain confident that they are not disclosing sensitive personal data.

After just over three years in operation, Williams is proud of what her company has accomplished. Its really pretty impressive, she said.

It is. Breaking the male-dominated culture of cybersecurity, Williams has created a company that is at the forefront of data in-use security, recently announceda $10 million Series A funding and is looking to expand globally with new product lines that enable advanced decisioning in a completely secure and private capacity.

Were creating a whole new market, Williams said. [Were] completely changing the paradigm about where and how you can use data for business purposes.

Ethereum’s Vitalik Buterin Predicts Megatrend of Cryptography in 2020s – Herald Sheets

He shared this in a thread of tweets that attracted a series of reactions from the cryptocurrency community members.

In his point of view, the megatrend of cryptography in the 2010s was elliptic curves, pairings and general purposes ZKPs/SNARKs. Regarding the megatrend of cryptography in the 2020s, he said it will be lattices, LWE, multi-linear maps, homomorphic encryption, MPC, and obfuscation.

Prediction: The megatrend in cryptography of the 2010s was elliptic curves, pairings and general purpose ZKPs/SNARKs. The megatrend of the 2020s will be (in addition to broad adoption of the above) lattices, LWE, multilinear maps, homomorphic encryption, MPC and obfuscation, Vitalik Buterin shared

He furthered by stating the theme that will be common in both 2010s and 2020s megatrends of cryptography. He said:

The common theme in both is the rise of cryptographic primitives that operate over boolean or arithmetic circuits as a mathematical representation of computation, and hence cryptographic constructions becoming general purpose.

In response to his take on the expected megatrends of cryptography in the 2020s, one of his followers said, Yes. And possibly some of these areas merging.

Vitalik Buterin responded thus;

Oh cryptography is all going to merge into a big jumble of heres how we efficiently represent everything as polynomials and here are the 73 clever things you can do with a polynomial https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1248706367520755717

Another inquisitive Twitter user, who is a supposed Chainlink (LINK) community member, asked the co-founder of Ethereum how the cryptographic project (Chainlink) could fit into his prediction in the 2020s. He asked, How does Chainlink fit into this Vitalik?

Vitalik Buterin responded by saying:

Possible serious answer: with obfuscation, it might be possible to authenticate HTTPS responses (ie. data from websites) without needing trusted hardware.

What You Need to Know about Cryptocurrency… – Coinspeaker

Most of the weaknesses of crypto security are attributable to the human factor, particularly a failure to adequately secure personal crypto wallets.

For years, crypto proponents have touted the security of cryptography and blockchain-based digital currencies. These are supposedly extremely difficult to hack. Thats why its puzzling why theres never a shortage of news that involves hacking or theft of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

In mid-2019 Taiwan-based Binance, the worlds largest cryptocurrency exchange based on transaction volume, admitted that they became the victim of a large scale data breach, which resulted in the loss of over US$40 million worth of cryptocurrency. Binance said that over 7,000 BTC was stolen from the companys hot wallet. Also, in early 2019, the Ethereum Classic blockchain was reportedly compromised.

Cryptocurrency hacking and theft may only be a small part in the cyber threat index, but they are a significant risk worth getting acquainted with. Strategies range from the simple to the sophisticated and large-scale, all of which emphasize the need for cybersecurity mindfulness.

Blockchain unhackability may no longer be a bragging right for cryptocurrency advocates. In January 2019, Coinbases security team observed irregular activities in the Ethereum Classic network, as the alternative currencys history of transactions appeared to be under attack.

A hacker managed to take control of the Ethereum Classic networks computing resources. This enabled the rewriting of the transaction history, which led to double spending of crypto coins. The hack allowed the hacker to steal coins equivalent to $1.1 million.

This attack is dubbed as the 51%, wherein a hacker succeeds in controlling more than half of the computing capacity of a cryptocurrency network (half+1%). Armed with more computing resources than everyone else in the network combined, the hacker gains the ability to tamper with the blockchain.

Once the consensus mechanism is compromised, its difficult to guarantee the integrity of the system. If its any consolation, though, 51% attacks have only worked on smaller cryptocurrencies so far. There were reports of such attacks on Vertcoin, Monacoin, Verge, and Bitcoin Gold, but none on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, and other top digital currencies.

This blockchain-defeating hack requires humongous computing power, which has to be at least 51% of the entire cryptocurrency network, hence the name. Multiple superfast computers working together or millions of devices infected by cryptojacking malware would be needed. This tremendous computing power requirement is the reason why 51% attacks have mostly focused on less popular cryptocurrency, since their underlying network of computing resources is correspondingly small.

The attack does not directly snatch coins from wallets. What happens is that the attacker generates an alternative and isolated version of the blockchain. The attacker builds blocks that are not broadcasted (which in normal situations ought to be broadcasted) to other miners. This results in a forkone that is followed by the regular miners and another by the attackers miners.

Eventually, the attacker will take advantage of the isolated alternative blockchain to reverse transactions or enable double spending. This is done by broadcasting the isolated blockchain to the network and, with the superior computing resources, outpace other miners in completing blocks. Since most blockchain-based cryptocurrencies are designed to defer to the rule of the majority, the regular miners are forced to acknowledge the faster, longer, and heavier alternative blockchain version (created by the attackers miners) as correct and switch to it as the new canonical transaction history.

The setting of a new transaction history does not mean that new crypto coins are created out of nothing. Rather, the hack makes it possible to re-use coins that were already spent or transferred to other wallets. In the process, previously confirmed transactions can be reversed or ongoing transactions may be voided to give way to a new transaction history. The latter can mean the loss of coins held by an original owner to recognize a new holder based on the new transaction history.

Hackers messing with blockchains sounds highly alarming. However, 51% and other similar attacks are extremely challenging to undertake, especially when used on the leading digital currencies such as Bitcoin and Ripple. The 51% attack against the Verge blockchain back in April 2018 only succeeded because of a flaw in the Verge blockchain protocol, which made it possible to quickly generate a longer version of the blockchain.

Thats why cybercriminals still turn to the usual attack methods to steal bitcoin and other crypto assets. These attacks usually involve social engineering and malware.

One early example of a social engineering attack on Bitcoin happened in 2013 when 4,100 coins were stolen from the now-defunct digital wallet Input.io. The attacker succeeded in deceiving the sites owner to provide the details needed for a password recovery request via email. The attack has since put Input.io out of commission.

When it comes to the use of malicious software, there are several possible variants. The most popular of which involves a clipboard hijacker or a malware that copies the information stored in the clipboard when someone copies something. Hackers take advantage of the natural instinct of most cryptocurrency owners to do the copy-paste combo when inputting their private keys to set up their online crypto wallets.

Attackers may also employ screenshot takers and keyloggers to steal login credentials and access online wallets. There are also those that use compromised crypto-trading add-ons written in JavaScript. Moreover, attackers may also use slack bots, which send fake notifications about nonexistent wallet issues in an attempt to convince the target to enter their private keys.

These crude attacks may not be as advanced direct assaults on blockchains, but they work because of the human factor in security weakness. Many still fail to use strong passwords, two-factor authentication, and other security measures. Others continue frequenting unsafe websites, exposing themselves to various kinds of malware.

Cryptocurrency security is far from perfect. However, security issues are not enough to discourage the use and further development of this new class of digital assets. Most of the weaknesses of crypto security are attributable to the human factor, particularly a failure to adequately secure personal crypto wallets. Yes, Bitcoin and other cryptos are hackable, but this is not reason enough to ditch the idea of decentralized currency.

Turkish Delights: 7 Films That Transport You To Istanbul – Forbes

Topkapi Palace, an iconic Istanbul scene

There are some truly inventive and inspiring gems among all the creative virtual-tourism and experiential live streams that travel and hotel companies are coming up with in these days of isolation. But some of us would still rather lose ourselves in the plot (and high production values) of a classic filmespecially one that scratches our itch for travel.

Even for those who dont share my great love for Turkish culture, cuisine and history, Istanbul is an undeniably cinematic city. No wonder it has been a backdrop forsometimes even a character inaward-winning and crowd-pleasing films for decades. Here are seven good ways to pass a few hours of your quarantine.

From Russia With Love (1963)

Directed by Terence Young, From Russia with Love is the second film in the James Bond series. In this blockbuster, Bond (Sean Connery) comes to Istanbul to retrieve a cryptography device and assist with the defection of a Soviet consulate clerk. But it turns out that this mission is a plan of Bonds enemy, SPECTRE. Parts of the film take place in Istanbul, and some characters are Turkish. It is also possible to see the famous train of that era, the Orient Express.

Skyfall (2012)

Nearly 50 years later, the Bond franchise returned to Turkey. Directed by Sam Mendes, Skyfall has an impressive cast, with Daniel Craig (Bond) joined by Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and Ralph Fiennes. Its one of the most prominent movies filmed in Istanbul in recent years, and the opening scene is a stunner, with Bond traversing the citys rooftops on a motorcycle. The Hagia Sophia, Sultanhamet Square and the Grand Bazaar all make appearances.
