In computer security there is a concept known as: non-repudiation
"Non-repudiation refers to a state of affairs where the purported maker of a statement will not be able to successfully challenge the validity of the statement or contract." – wiki
Without going into too many details, it's like having a receipt that proves that data has not been altered.
Now if I had something like a letter, and was able to apply techniques of non-repudiation to it, what would be the best word to describe the letter?
There seem to be three terms used by experts in the field: non-repudiable, non-refutable, and non-reputable
I'm inclined to think that non-repudiable is the most correct; however, the other two seem to be more commonly used in that context.
Any thoughts?
