timestamp-authority

Service for issuing RFC 3161 timestamps

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.
