6. Conclusion

In conclusion, the dematerialization of documents and exchanges today represents a major societal challenge. The development of these processes in both the private and public spheres has become a reality, and is becoming more and more a part of everyday life for companies, administrative authorities and Internet users alike. That's why the development of a dematerialization project must be subject to a legal framework that circumscribes the risks involved. Companies and public authorities are no more exposed to these risks in the electronic world than they are in the "real" world.
