According to Baker and Cooper (1995), nonrepudiation functions provide evidence that a transaction or specific action actually happened. An example is a system taking measures to ensure that a transferred message has been sent and received by the parties claiming to have sent and received the message. It is a way to guarantee that the sender of a message cannot later deny having sent the message and that the recipient cannot deny having received the message. Non-repudiation is accomplished through functions such as electronic signatures, transmission encryption, or time stamping and transaction recording in an audit trail record (Maheu, et. al., 2001).
