Timestamping provides critical and cost-effective document security
One by-product of the global marketplace's transition to the digital age is the difficulty of determining a document's validity. Tampering was much easier to detect when documents were produced by hand. With electronic documents, tampering is harder to spot, leaving the validity of these documents in doubt in both the eyes of the law and security-conscious enterprises. With an unprecedented focus today on document security, timestamping has become a critical strategy for protecting intellectual property, demonstrating best practices, proving compliance with regulations and maintaining legally valid business content. Timestamping gives organizations a cost-effective way to cryptographically seal documents with a digital signature and an auditable time stamp. For leading timestamping solutions, organizations everywhere turn to nCipher. click here for more information.
nCipher timestamping solutions deliver higher reliability
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. nCipher , offers both a secure time source and a networked time server solution to provide enterprises with a complete approach to timestamping. The nCipher Time Source Master Clock 200 (TMC200) contains a Rubidium atomic clock that enables organizations to maintain highly accurate time behind the internal firewall, avoiding the need to coordinate time with outside sources. The extraordinary precision of the Rubidium clock dramatically reduces the need for recalibration, increasing security and accuracy. To further enhance security, the TMC 200 uses a secure transit protocol with mutual authentication to connect to a time server such as the nCipher Time Stamp Server. The TMC200's hardware security module is certified FIPS 140-2 Level 3, preventing time values from being compromised in the process of transit. And a signed certificate verifying the calibration and traceability of the TMC200 time stamp ensures organizations can comply with regulations and best practices.
The nCipher Time Stamp Server (TSS) is a cost-efficient and highly effective approach to integrating timestamping into business-critical applications. The TSS digitally signs documents or audit information on behalf of a person, department or company. TSS digital signatures are cryptographically bound to a document through standard public key signing methods, sealing the document to make it tamper evident. Once it has been calibrated with a time source, such as nCipher's TMC200, the TSS can supply time stamps for any PKIX compliant timestamping request.
Integrate timestamping with other advanced security features
nCipher also offers cryptography and data security solutions for identity management software, data protection software, Elliptic curve cryptography, PKI integration and more.
