[Cryptography] Cheap forensic recorder

I have been using a Raspberry Pi 2 as a burner machine in a legal case. The
nice feature of the Pi being that I can pull the O/S image card, drop it in
an evidence bag and FedEx it to the lawyers.

This approach lets me:

* Use a machine in a verifiable known state
* Control exactly what is on the machine

But I would like to go a little further. In particular i would ideally like
a complete, signed record of every keystroke and the video output.

Some folk have been setting up screencapture (scrot) with a crontab job.
Since this is X-Windows, is there an easy way to insert an X-Windows logger
in the path?


This is all preparatory to being able to dump the recorded stream into a
timestamp notary system.
