Date: Sat, 24 Nov 2001 19:39:35 -0500

A package was submitted to savannah.gnu.org.
This mail was sent to address@hidden, address@hidden


Horst Herb <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: gpl
Other License: 
Package: GNU Digital Notary
System name: gnotary
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

The GNotary Digital Notary Service allows to provide peer-to-peer certification 
of digital documents.

It was born out of the need to certify the integrity of medical records, but it 
is useful for any domain where proof of document integrity for a given point in 
time is needed.

GNotary is implemented as a set of Python scripts: the \"server\" polls an 
email account (or filters specified mailbox files), digitally signs & 
timestamps the message and sends it back via email.

The \"client\" is just a convenience script providing a graphical user 
interface (made portable by using wxPython) to the process of selecting files, 
creating secure hashes of these fiules, and sending a list of these secure 
hashes by email to one or more specified gnotary servers.


It already exists and you can see it at http://gnumed.net/gnotary
