Trusted timestamping is a process that has been around for some time. It
|
|
provides a timestamp record of when a document was created or modified.
|
|
|
|
A timestamp authority creates signed timestamps using public key
|
|
infrastructure. The operator of the timestamp authority must secure the
|
|
signing key material to prevent unauthorized timestamp signing.
|
|
|
|
A timestamp authority should also verify its own clock. We provide a
|
|
configuration to periodically check the current time against well-known
|
|
NTP sources.
