The timestamp offers greater document security
In an increasingly online business world a digital timestamp solution is an important component of a robust security environment to meet requirements for evidentiary information on the access and use of electronic documents. . Because there is no "paper trail" with electronic documents, such as Adobe PDF files, the need to ensure the legality of documents and protection of intellectual property depends on knowing the exact time a document was created, and who created it. Timestamp technology affixes a digital signature to a file, showing the exact time and date of origin and providing a way to see if the document has been modified in any way since. It's a relatively simple and cost-effective way to provide the kind of security that ensures business can continue without jeopardy. For timestamp solutions that are used by leading companies around the world, consider the superior technology offered by nCipher. click here to read more about nCipher timestamp solutions.
nCipher delivers leading timestamp technology
nCipher is a leading provider of solutions that help to protect critical information. Offering products for data protection, enterprise key management and cryptographic hardware, nCipher helps businesses achieve greater levels of data security. The nCipher Time Stamp Server (TSS) is a networked appliance that is a cost-efficient and easily deployed timestamp solution. When calibrated with secure and reliable time source, the TSS will issue timestamps for any PKIX-compliant request, providing a digital signature that can be linked to the original certificate for verification. For greater security, the TSS includes a hardware security module that protects the internal time source and manages the keys used in signing and sealing documents. This module is validated to the FIPS 140-2 Level 3, a widely accepted security benchmark for securing cryptographic keys. And to simplify integration, a developer's toolkit is incorporated in the product, allowing companies to integrate secure and auditable timestamp functionality into applications throughout the organization. The toolkit contains sample code and a set of functions that enable companies to quickly integrate document sealing capability into new and existing applications. Available in C language libraries and Java language classes, the toolkit supports Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms.
A secure time source for timestamp validation
nCipher also provides a secure time source in the TimeSource Master Clock (TMC200). With a Rubidium atomic clock and an authenticated and encrypted version of the NTP protocol, the TMC200 can be deployed in coordination with nCipher's TSS to ensure highly accurate time throughout the organization and in the timestamp process.
nCipher also offers digital signature software, encryption security software, key management software, PKI software, support for data encryption software, and more.
