As for having a provable copy of a page with proof better than just "trust me bro", I don't think there is a way. It looks like you can only trust copies based on who hosts them. Additionally, note the "why" field on IA in case an archivist group is the source instead of IA itself, because that's another way to archive to Wayback Machine.

So, why not? A raw copy of the page secured by SSL wouldn't prove anything because an active session uses a symmetric key, which essentially means you can fake it by using any random random key and encrypt the message with it. Since the key is always random, it proves nothing.

Unless the host cryptographically signs their pages (which would, of course, not be desirable for hiding the past), I don't think there's another way.
