Qualified Electronic Time-Stamp

The Time-Stamp service includes time stamping of data, electronic records, electronic documents, etc. by the time stamp issuer as a Trusted Third Party. It is an integral part of the Certification service because it supplements the Digital Certificate issuing service by extending the period of reliance upon a signature. It also provides additional security to data archiving procedures by protecting their authenticity and integrity for the entire storage period.

Time-Stamp incorporated in a document allows reliable demonstration that the document was signed at a particular point in time indicated in the Time-Stamp.

Fina’s Qualified Electronic Time-Stamp Service Fina QTSA 2017 is designed for Business Entities, Business Entities’ Associated Persons and citizens, with aim to support e-Business.
