GNotary is a digital notary service that enables asynchronous notarization through email. It helps users to securely sign and verify electronic documents without the need for physical presence.
The process is straightforward: simply create a message digest of your digital document using MD5 or RIPEMD160 and submit it by email to the GNotary service. From here, GNotary signs the email digitally (using GnuPG), retains a copy of the certified and time stamped message, and mails it back to you.
Optionally, you can even receive the public key to verify the signed document. Moreover, the GNotary server automatically creates message digests of its own logs at regular intervals and distributes these digests among other GNotary servers. This ensures authenticity and makes it virtually impossible to forge the chain of evidence, giving you peace of mind that your documents are properly certified.
