Package: 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 to the process of selecting files, creating secure hashes of these 
files, 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
