Electronic time-stamping
Definition
Electronic time-stamping is a mechanism for linking digital data to a precise moment in time, in a verifiable and tamper-proof manner. A qualified time-stamp, issued by a qualified provider within the meaning of eIDAS, provides legal proof of the existence of a document at a given date. It is essential for maintaining the evidentiary value of documents over the long term.
