What Evolution subcomponents would need to be accessed to code such a module?
In this country (and a few neighboring ones), legally-binding digital signatures
are already enforced by law, only the technology to implement them is missing
(except for Windows, of course...).
Depends on how its done.
See http://www.privador.com/ and their TrueSign technology. That was made in
response to the Estonian Government's e-signature law.
This one is only the tip of the iceberg. I bet that other countries' technology
think tanks have also invented other solutions that will be legally-binding in
THEIR country. The point is, Evolution needs a common API that is specifically
designed for integrating document authenticating/signing solutions, beyond PGP,
at least until EU or ISO produces _the_ standard we'll all have to adopt.
Huh?
Yeah whatever.
We have an api, but nothing to put in it.
