What is an Electronic Timestamp?

electronic timestamps enhances the platform's overall security and trustworthiness

An electronic timestamp is a digital mechanism used to verify the existence and authenticity of an electronic document or data at a specific point in time. Timestamps are generated by a trusted third-party, known as a Time Stamping Authority (TSA), which maintains a precise and synchronized time source. When applied to a document or data, the timestamp provides a tamper-proof record of the date and time at which the electronic file was created, modified, or signed.

Electronic timestamps are widely used in legal, financial, and other industries that require accurate time records for compliance, audit, or evidentiary purposes. They help ensure the integrity of electronic documents and data, prove the sequence of events, and establish the ownership or responsibility of the information at a given time.

In the context of eSignatures, timestamps play a crucial role in establishing the validity and reliability of electronically signed documents. By associating a timestamp with an eSignature, it becomes possible to prove that a document was signed at a specific time and has not been altered since that moment. This added layer of security and trust increases the legal enforceability of electronically signed documents.
