This is exactly the problem we're trying to solve with tlsnotary.
See the technical description.:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=173220.msg4998488#msg4998488

Manfred Karrer is looking at integrating it (tlsnotary) into his
project described here

You can find us chatting on #bitsquare quite often.
