OpenEvidence is an EU sponsored open source project to build core digital evidence technologies.

OpenEvidence produces technology for "evidence" creation and validation of electronic documents, meaning "evidence" a document certified by some authority that guarantees the data it contains. The technology developed by the project can be used as basic building blocks to support such services as non-repudiation of electronic business transactions, property right protection and notarisation.

Frankly, I think they are digging a big hole without a way out.  Security means nothing if its not usable and EU laws tend to ignore usability.
