Rumor or abusive web postings in internet has become a social issue. Web postings may be proposed on evidence in form of a screenshot in libel suit, but a screenshot can be easily modified by computer programs. A person can make ill use of the screenshot which is modified deliberately original contents to opposite meaning in a lawsuit. That makes an innocent person to be punished because it can have difficulties to verify despite analyzing the server data. A screenshot of web postings is likely to fail to prove its authenticity and it is not able to reflect the fact. If notarization for web postings is offered, clear and convincing evidence can be submitted in a court. So, related techniques and policies should be established In this paper, we propose some technical and legal conditions and design for notarization and archive system of web postings for litigation.

In modern society, everyone can easily access the Internet and freely express their opinions or ideas on Web bulletin boards or SNS. At the same time, they are often used as a place of slandering and the spreading of false information about celebrities such as entertainers and politicians. Typically people use the screen capture method to submit web posts as evidence in lawsuits. But it is difficult to get these accepted as evidence in court because screen captured images are easily forged and tempered. Therefore, as described above, using "Proxy Browser", we propose a screen capture authentication system for web posts that protects forging and tempering to use as digital evidence in court.
