The main disagreements to date in the draft law relate to the management of powers in the area of ​​application of electronic signatures, which affects the procedural part and requires the creation of the infrastructure necessary for this.

The state, represented by the Ministry of Communications, proposes a model in which individuals receive EPs in state and private certification centers (CC), legal entities - only in the CC of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, and representatives of state authorities (officials) - in the CC of the Treasury of the Russian Federation. To implement the powers of signatories, it is proposed to use a new type of electronic document - a machine-readable power of attorney.

An alternative concept developed by the Russian france mobile database community suggests not limiting recipients of EPs, whoever they may be, to any specific CAs, but rather creating an additional add-on to the basic infrastructure of EPs of attributive certificates and attribution centers (the functions of which can be performed by the CAs themselves), which will allow, when using EPs, to grant each user certain legal powers and maintain the registry of powers up to date.

A major drawback of the project proposed by the Ministry of Communications is the archaic need to use for some types of legal relations not one, but several EPs, issued by different CAs. In addition, the mechanism for revocation of EPs laid down in this project is difficult to automate. The model proposed by the business community is free from this drawback by including attribute certificates in the EP, assigned, verified and revoked according to a scheme understandable to users.
