Dmitriy,

Germany has a Digital Signature law which addresses your concern.
Please don't ask me about the requirements, though.

The German law is bullshit. It is only a symbolic law to demonastrate
sepecial political views. It does not affect the usability of digital
signatures in Germany. Digital signatures were, be, and will be accepted in
any German court.

Although not a Federal Law, several states in the United States to have
various forms of Digital Signature Laws. I found a Web Page of an
attorney specializing in this. He had all the status of all current and
proposed laws. Sorry I can't remember the URL.
