As more and more enterprises are computerizing their critical business processes, such as the digital signing of contracts, invoices and orders, OpenTrust, Europe's leader in trust and security infrastructures, has added new timestamping component to its flagship product suite.

With its SOAP API, OpenTrust TSA is both simple to use and to integrate into a corporate information system. the solution provides a reliable and legally-recognized time source, issuing timestamps signed by a trusted authority. When used in conjunction with digital certificate and/or electronic signautre management services, OpenTrust TSA customers are able to build solutions without external dependencies or hidden costs for their electronic business processes, therefore obtaining a rapid return on investment.

Compliant with timestamping standards (RFC 3161), OpenTrust TSA is based on the normalized TSP and certificate profile specified in RFC 3280. It can be used directly by business applications or by other components of the OpenTrust Software suite (PKI, Smart Card Manager, digital signature etc. ) to certify the dates and times of electronic transactions and digital signatures, while simultaneously strengthening the non-repudiation functions of the trust platform.
