Certify your digital documents with Namirial timestamps
Timestamping
Certainty and integrity with legal value for your electronic transactions
Timestamping allows a certain date and time to be associated with a digital document, enabling legal proof of its existence at that precise moment in time and ensuring the integrity of the information it contains.
A timestamp is used to generate legal proof relating to the exact moment at which an electronic transaction is made.
It can be used, for example, to associate a certain date and time with a computer document, to prove its existence at that precise moment. Or it can be used to date an electronic signature affixed to a computer document, certifying the validity of the signature even after the natural expiration of the signature certificate. In addition, timestamping can be used to certify the time of execution of a digital banking transaction or the date of issuance of an electronic invoice.
Timestamping, simple or qualified, is a service that can only be offered by an accredited certifier. Electronic time validation gives rise to a legal presumption regarding the certainty of the date and time and produces a reversal of the burden of proof.
A timestamp issued in one EU state is recognized
scient in all other member states
Date and time of the qualified timestamp are linked to the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
Our timestamp service
A timestamp is a sequence of digital characters that contains a precise date and time. Timestamps are issued by a trusted third party called the Time Stamping Authority (TSA). The accredited entity certifies the existence of the document when the timestamp is issued.
When the process of timestamping a document is initiated, the software that is used to perform this action sends a request to Namirial, along with a set of data about the document. After carrying out the appropriate checks on the correctness of the data received, Namirial generates the timestamp and sends it to the software, which finally affixes it to the document, certifying its existence.
A timestamp can be affixed to either a digitally signed document or an unsigned document. When affixed to a digitally signed document, it serves to ensure the validity of the digital signature even when the signing certificate expires or if the certificate is suspended or revoked.
