I assume that enforcebility is determined using the standards applied to pen-and-ink signatures. Lack of legal capacity, forgery or duress, to name a few, would permit repudiation. The party seeking to enforce a contract signed digitally should bear the burden of establishing a signature's validity. Therefore, I agree that a blanket holding that all digital signatures are non-repudiable is unlikely. _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
