Notarizing

In many cases it is good to ensure that documents existed at a particular time. With modern document storage systems, it may be impossible to verify this by simply relying on databases and filesystems alone, especially because technology can be manipulated.

Fingerprint can be used to produce printed documents which can be used to verify the existence of files at a given time. This is primarily done through the application of a notary public figure's signature to the fingerprint and cryptographic digests. These can be later used to verify the existence of a given set of files at a specific time and place.

Simply follow the procedure to produce a cryptographic hash of a directory, print these documents out, and get them signed.
