✦ Synopsis

In early 1999, The Danish government IT Security Council adopted a set of guidelines on the evidentiary weight of digital documents. Among other things, these guidelines set forth recommendations on how to introduce the paper-less office in public administration and private businesses, for example by scanning and shredding paper documents.
In the following, the chair of the IT Security Council, Report Correspondent Professor Mads Bryde Andersen, introduces these guidelines and their intended purposes and describes the working process that brought them into being.
