That's an application for PGP, or S/MIME, or a click-through over SSL, or a PAM module, or something like that, depending on when/what you're authenticating. Incidentally, the "act of the US Congress" probably doesn't mean what you think it does. 15 USC 7001 only says (basically) that a signature can't be denied legal validity solely because it's in digital form. http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/15/7001.html
