Standards And Reliability

Digital timestamp is defined by open standards as part of the digital signatures technology, or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) technology. The timestamp service has compliance with RFC 3161 and policy requirements for time-stamp authority as mentioned in IETF RFC 3628, it is technically equivalent to ETSI TS 102 023. The ESIGN law in US provides guidelines to eliminate legal barriers to using digital signatures for signing contracts and storing documents. Tecxoft TSA is also consistent with these guidelines. It is acceptable in most European countries and US.

Secure Time Source

Tecxoft TSA uses a secure time source for creating timestamps, it is synchronized with National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Time.

Tecxoft timestamp service provides accuracy in milliseconds. There is no possibility for anyone creating a false timestamp with the service. System has the capability of drift adjustment, but chances are very little for this situation. For more information please refer to Tecxoft TSA practice statement.

Timestamp Verification

Tecxoft TSA has compliance with IETF RFC 3161, a Public Key Infrastructure based standard.

According to the Public Key Infrastructure, timestamp validation has three steps. First, document is checked for any modifications. The actual timestamp token that was returned from the Tecxoft TSA service. The public key of the TSA, all timestamp tokens created by Tecxoft TSA has the public key, that is enclosed in the X509 digital certificate. The digital certificate of the TSA available in the token is used to check the revocation of the certificate.

If the certificate is not revoked or expired, timestamp token is considered valid. Certificate revocation information is periodically published by the TSA, this information is required for timestamp token verification.
