How about letting the retailer have a digital certificate,
which he/she uses to assure the customer's identity to the
distributor after checking the cusomter's identitfication card?
Could that eliminate the need for loading signatures in advance
in, for example, PenOp's products for signature capturing?
How about legal issues? Wouldn't the retailer function as a witness
in this case?
