> it seems that it is ONLY the verifier that cares what is signed. When does the signer really WANT to sign something except to satisfy the needs of verifiers. What advanatage [sic] does the signer have?< If I electronically sign a money-order, it might be to my advantage that nobody can slip a couple of zeros on the end. That's one example. Although I think it will usually be the case that the form or document designer won't be the signatory, it is very often for the signatory's protection that the signature is required. I wouldn't want my bank to honour unsigned cheques, for example, even though it's the bank which requires that cheques be signed. CPK Smithies PenOp
