A document’s ownership and authenticity can be validated using a digital signature.  A TC Time Stamp additionally serves to enable verification of the precise time an electronic document was signed.

With the increasing popularity of digital signatures in complete electronic workflows, such verification is becoming critical.  TC Time Stamps allow the time factor to be integrated into electronic workflows, as they are a mechanism for subsequently verifying when a document was created.

Particularly in electronic document archiving, it is imperative that the time when a document was signed be conclusively verified at a later time (e.g., for auditing purposes).  Therefore, TC Time Stamps form the basis for long-term archiving of electronically signed content.

As a rule, any electronic document can be time stamped, which makes TC Time Stamps ideal for protecting audit and log data, as well.
