Record authentication and approval transcript

摘要

Authenticating a declared or approved record and creating a transcript related to the declaration or approval. The transcript is created based on available information at the time of declaration. The collected available information may include the user/program declaring the record, the method used to declare and/or approve the record and record content, any log or audit entries generated during the declaration, the document and record metadata (including globally unique identifiers for the record and content objects), and/or a hash of the record. The collected information may also include user information, e.g., the user's IP address or MAC address. The transcript may be saved, and linked to the record. Additionally, the hash may be revalidated at various times to ensure the accuracy of the record. Moreover, related logs may be archived and declared as records.
