hmh, I am quiet sure that also Germany has something like a  
"Signaturgesetz". At least for Austria I can say, that conforming to  
guidelines from the EU, there is a law, that allows any form of  
electronic communication for signing up contracts. Depending on the  
encryption-scheme the signing parties agree on, even "simple" PGP/GPG- 
Sinatures can be used. No special agreement is needed, if you use  
some state-certified scheme the so called "Sichere Signatur".

It's not easy to get and install the components, but they work - see
