hi

you may want to use non-repudiation in the workflow system, like signing of digital cert.

Subject: Security Issues with Workflow apps

Hello All,

I am looking for some good articles that talk about Security Issue
relating to Workflow Application that use email as medium to
approve/reject actions.

For e.g. an attacker might intercept an workflow email, and use the
content to approve/reject a pending item, by spoofing an email to the
workflow auto-responder.
