Timestamp workflows

Follow Getting started and Verifying a timestamp before automating requests. The TSA overview groups procedures, protocol details, and trust information by task.

• Getting started

  Choose an endpoint, request a timestamp, and retain the files needed to verify it.

• Verifying a timestamp

  Independently checking a token's chain, policy, and signature against the original data.

• Attesting files and logs

  Stamping backups, release artifacts, and logs as standalone evidence alongside the file.

• Embedding timestamps in signatures

  Requesting a timestamp as part of code- and document-signing, instead of as a separate token file.
