Abstract: A document is recorded with authenticity certification information by receiving an indication that a client is prepared to indicate acceptance and/or receipt of a proposed set of documentary content elements. A visual display of the documentary content elements is presented. An actuatable acknowledgment mechanism and a field for receipt of account information is presented. The actuation of said actuatable acknowledgment mechanism is detected and the account information is transmitted to an account provider. Asymmetric key pairs from one or more items associated with the account are generated. A digital certificate derived from one or more items associated with the account is generated.
