But does it *have* to be HeSA?
The sole purpose of a digital notary is to certify the authenticity of a *document*, not a referrer. That is, to certify that a document has not been altered after the date it has been submitted to the digital notary. If the document contains a digital signature, this *may* identify the referrer *if* the digital signature was done with a key certified by a trusted CA.
