Abstract:
One of the uses that can be from cryptocurrency as a type of digital money is to use it as a means of payment. The most important legal issue in this regard is whether payment information based on cryptocurrency that is transferred and maintained in the form of electronic communication and data message, can be considered as a valid document? As long as the document of this information is not proven, the cryptocurrency payer cannot be considered clear from obligation in front of the recipient.The present study is a fundamental type and research method is descriptive-analytic.By dissection the legal ingredients of the document and its flow in e-documents and finally matching it with payment information based on cryptocurrency, it can be found that the information of this payment by the existence of a secure information system, the use of digital signature, asymmetric encryption algorithm and encrypted hash, In the stage of creation and at the time of registration of information, firstly is considered an electronic document and secondly is a valid document in the courts to prove payment.
Machine summary:
The most important legal issue in this regard is whether payment information based on cryptocurrency, which is created, transferred, and maintained in the form of electronic communication and data messages, can be considered a valid document?
By examining the legal elements of a document and its flow in electronic documents and finally applying it to cryptocurrency-based payment information, it can be concluded that this payment information, due to the existence of a reliable information system, the use of digital signatures, asymmetric encryption algorithms, and encoded hashes both at the creation stage and at the time of recording information, is firstly considered an electronic document; secondly, it is a valid document that can be presented in courts to prove payment.
In the present research, we aim to examine cryptocurrency-based payment information as a data message 1 that is created, maintained, and stored in an electronic context and apply it to the aforementioned legal principles so that finally its authenticity is clarified and proven.
Clause "t" of Article 2 of the Electronic Commerce Law the combined performance between nodes and the blockchain network, due to features such as a distributed network, peer-to-peer communication, data encryption, digital signatures, and encrypted hash functions, has transformed the cryptocurrency payment system into a reliable system that ensures all conditions of a reliable information system.
