Archive electronic time stamps

All conditions apply to archive electronic time stamps as for classical time stamps. The connection of unquestionable time data and specific data is essential, in particular, for the purposes of their retrospective verification and in the process of electronic archiving of electronic documents.

The period for which the relying party can verify the electronic time stamp is limited by the validity of the certificate - the electronic seal of the server issuing the time stamps. Therefore, I.CA offers an archive electronic time stamp service based on the technology of electronic time stamps, their chaining and storing. The principle is based on RFC 4998 Evidence Record Syntax.

The first stamp is marked with the hash of the document and the second stamp in the hash of the first stamp, etc. Internal application I.CA does not work with the original stamped document; these documents always remain with the client. This service is offered by I.CA as a fully secured service in I.CA.
