Sorry, I should have clarified that. We don't want to verify that Bob  
has in fact deleted the patient record, we just want to verify whether  
Bob *claims* to have deleted the patient record *within the time span  
given*. If Alice later finds out that Bob has lied, she will have this  
signed claim, with which she can take him to court.

Best,

Stephan
