The EU directive on digital signature explicitly mandates _qualified_ signatures for this purpose, and the Italian law explicitly mentions _accredited_ ones, that is, recognized by our own standards - I just checked, you are not in the registry of accredited CAs for the Italian legal signatures. Funny that people at LLoyds failed to inform you of that. Not to mention the fact that such a system would be OBVIOUSLY challenged in court. I'd be thrilled to be called as an expert witness against any purely machine-produced evidence in a network environment which claims "unmodifiability" or to be tamper-proof. Are you making that claim, or did I understand something wrong ? > No that one is no good either - Simple... cryptography and operations > integrity attestation processes.

Let me understand - am I supposed to be bound by an undisclosed agreement between you and another part, without being able to examine the technical documentation ? And - is that supposed to be brought in a court ? As scientific, repeatable evidence ? You must be joking :) BTW: software patents ?
