I’m currently exploring how Livebook can be utilised in forensic scenarios such as law enforcement or cybersecurity, specifically for investigating digital data. Something like Maltego but more flexible and linear.
A key requirement for maintaining a valid chain of evidence is digitally signing the data within Livebook, particularly the queried or transformed data in the cells.
Is there any feature/hook in Livebook that allows for digital signing of cell content, including input and output? For instance, using a personal digital certificate, such as a X509 certificate stored on a token via PKCS#11.

Livebook has the concept of smart cells, where you can create your own cell with additional metadata, and perhaps they could be used as a foundation to build what you need? livebook/lib/livebook/notebook/learn/kino/smart_cells.livemd at main · livebook-dev/livebook · GitHub

That’s a great idea. SmartCells acting as 'in-between" checkpoints with signatures. I need to consider this further, but initially, it seems it could smoothly fit into the workflow without requiring any modifications to other cells.
Thanks a lot!
