Law/Patents - Law (general) / Authenticating electronic signatures
Spanish term or phrase: perito calígrafo
Las firmas electrónicas resultantes del sistema de [empresa proveedor de esignatures] son perfectamente peritables por un perito calígrafo, al igual que lo son las firmas manuscritas.

It looks like an expert in authenticating signatures on documents, but is there a specific legal term for this in English? This is based on the Spanish legal system.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks a bunch! It seemed weird to me to trust in handwriting experts for esignatures, but maybe they're just used for the biometric ones.

Explanation:
Since it's about e-signature rather than handwritten, anything to do with calligraphy or graphology seems out of place.
You might consider translating the part about "son perfectamente peritables por un perito calígrafo" along the lines of
"can be authenticated by an expert in e-signature,"... or words to that effect.


Example sentence(s):
  • Michael M., an East Bay e-signature expert...
  • The company is now called xxxx, and it has acquired an e-signature specialist...
