| Verifiable Evidence |
| |
Anyone who wishes to authenticate the information
contained in an RPost Registered Receipt™
e-mail can forward a copy by e-mail to the RPost Registration
System™ to the address verify@rpost.net.
Provided that the receipt has not been tampered
with, an authenticating message will be returned
with a regenerated original e-mail attached. The
record can be reproduced or printed like any other
e-mail or attachment.
Because RPost receipts are themselves, e-mail messages,
they can be made readily accessible to any interested
parties - the sender simply forwards the Registered
Receipt™ message by e-mail. At the same time, RPost's
methods of authentication and tamper proofing mean
that any holder of an RPost receipt can independently
confirm the precise content of the original message
and its delivery history.
RPost neither stores copies of Registered Receipts™
messages
nor any components of the original e-mail.
Electronic Records Keeping
On June 21, 2004, the Office of the Comptroller
of the Currency published advisory letter AL 2004-9
“Electronic Record Keeping.”
The advisory letter highlights issues and provides
some guidance for electronic record retention systems.
Recognizing that both ESIGN and the UETA enable
the use of electronic record retention system, OCC
discusses the requirements that electronic record
retention systems be designed to ensure that the
records are admissible in litigation, sufficient
to meet internal and external audit and control
purposes, comply with regulatory requirements and
meet bank supervision requirements.
The full advisory letter can be viewed at: http://www.occ.treas.gov/ftp/advisory/2004-9.doc
RPost Registered Receipts™ messages provide the sender
of e-mail with a simple and powerful electronic
retention system that not only satisfies the retention
requirement, but also provides legal proof of delivery
of the electronic document.
Evidentiary Value
Registered E-mail®
messages hold far greater evidential weight than
traditional mail, courier, fax, or e-mail, and
therefore, should provide the sender with protection
that will stand up to scrutiny in a dispute
resolution situation. Registered E-mail would
provide the sender the upper hand in any legal
discovery disputes.
From the perspective of a mediator, arbitrator,
or judicial officer, one looks first at the
evidentiary value of what is submitted in gauging
its trustworthiness. Evidential weight is about
reducing uncertainty surrounding the evidence. The
party with the greater evidential weight will win in
most cases, or at least mitigate its liability.
