Comment from: ashtong@adelphia.net I notice there is little comment in this TC's documents about ownership and control of the hardware and software used by a contract party to digitally execute a document. It appears that the NNA's model is to execute the document on a computer owned by a notary, using software supplied by a notary. As a wary potential seller of real estate, I would want to transfer the document to my own computer and view it with open source software that I have obtained from what I view as a reliable source. I would then execute it using the same software. Finally I would transfer it to the notary's computer so the notary could sign the certificate of acknowledgement. It is much like the problem of electronic voting machines. I cannot be sure that what is recorded on a computer disk corresponds to what appears on a computer screen unless it is MY disk and MY screen under MY exclusive control. Gerry Ashton
