What is KEP?
Registered Electronic Mail (Kayıtlı Elektronik Posta - KEP) is considered as legally accepted and technically safe electronic mail.
Through the use of e-signatures and time stamps, KEP makes sure an electronic mail is delivered, the sender and the receiver are identified, what the mail is, that its content is intact and the date and time of origin are accurately defined. KEP is the only tool that allows for sharing legally acceptable and technically safe e-documents via electronic mail and is considered as hard evidence of these processes.
