COMFACT TIMESTAMP

Comfact Timestamp has been developed for use by our other services, such as Signature and Seal. As timestamps can be used in different situations, we also offer this service separately

FEATURES

Fully compliant with the IETF RFC 3161 specifications, as profiled in ETSI EN 319 422
Aligned with standard policy and security requirements, such as those defined in ETSI EN 319 421
Designed to meet the timestamp requirements for long-term validity, such as those defined in ETSI EN 319 122
Secured by RSA-2048 certificates and supports SHA256, SHA384, and SHA512 hash algorithms
Protected within FIPS 140-2 level 3 HSMs

ADVANTAGES

Independently audited and highly accurate date and time sources
Provides verifiable, independent proof of documents and data’s time and integrity
Only the hash value or "fingerprint" of the data is communicated
All cryptographic operations and keys are handled in a Hardware Security Module (HSM)
The pay-as-you-go feature allows you to use Comfact Timestamp when you need it

HOW COMFACT TIMESTAMP WORKS

A timestamp is requested from a server or computer to Comfact timestamp for a document or data. Comfact Timestamp in turn, creates a timestamp using an HSM (Hardware Security Module). A secure time source and policy governs how the timestamp is created. Finally, the timestamp is sent back to the server / computer that requested the timestamp.

BENEFITS OF COMFACT TIMESTAMP

Improve your legal standing

As a timestamp proves that data existed at a certain time it improves your legal standing

Efficient document handling

As more documents can be handled electronically, supported by timestamps, your document handling can be more efficient

General data protection regulation

Integrating Comfact Timestamp with your business applications can improve your security dramatically at a very competitive cost
