RE: Electronic Authorisation of Drawings
I understand that there are significant efforts underway to create methods of applying electronic signatures to documents, not only engineering in nature, but also financial, contractual, etc. I don't know how far this has gotten.....anyone out there have any more knowledge about this?

How do the computer engineers certify and verify their work?
In Manitoba we had a case where the paper drawings were copied and the engineer seal fraudently applied. This can happen without regard for the media of the drawings.
I think that electronic drawings should be easier to verify (checksums can be used) than paper copies.
The bottom line is if you have ever sent a sealed piece of paper out of your control the seal can be copied and modified.
Why not have a depository of electronic drawings in the engineering professional association? (It would be easier to manage than having a paper copy depository) Then if there is a question as to its validity, the copies in the wild can be compaired to the copy on file.
Electronic signatures are becoming common for commerce, why not engineering?
