As you can easely see also in www.costozero.org, the only type with value of legal proof is the first one indicated by Andrea, e.g. through certification autority.
The other way -web of trust- has no legal value -better it has but in a very limited and weak way, with inversion of the burden of proof.

The first way, instead, has an unbelivable power of proof.
If the certificate is not out of date (and you can forward the terms with certificated timestamps) it has more value than the no-digital equivalent.
