| I think (the Open Source project) GNotary which is part of Horst Herb's GNUMed project actually can adequately secure the ecords and is better than the audit trail that has been regarded as sufficient until recently.
I agree that however good the cryptography is, root or the programmer cannot rely upon proving that they could not get around it (which is actually the task we need supported by these systems), particularly when the people who must be convinced of it are unlikley to be IT experts.
Judges and lawyers however do understand conspiracy and separation of powers, and notarisation, so separating the audit from the main system and putting it in the hands of an independent organisation or several makes a good defence. |
