RE: filmscanners: Re: paperless office
True electronic signature systems include three components -
non-repudiation, authentication, and no-change.
Like a pen signature, an electronic signature has to change the document not
sit beside the document.

What you say may be true enough; but even that only guarentees the
authenticity of the signature and not the content of the document that the
signiture has been affixed to. Hence the problem of counterfeiting still is
not solved when it comes to the authenticity of documents.
