Frequently Asked Questions

What is a document timestamp?

A document timestamp (RFC 3161) is a cryptographic proof that your PDF existed at a specific point in time. A trusted Time Stamp Authority (TSA) server signs a hash of your document along with the current time, creating a tamper-evident timestamp embedded in the PDF.

Do I need a certificate?

No. Unlike a digital signature, a document timestamp does not require a personal certificate. The TSA server provides the trusted timestamp using its own certificate.

Is my document sent to the TSA server?

No. Only a cryptographic hash (SHA-256) of your document is sent to the TSA server. Your actual PDF content never leaves your browser.

Will the timestamp be valid in PDF readers?

Yes. The tool creates a standard RFC 3161 document timestamp (ETSI.RFC3161 SubFilter) that is recognized by Adobe Acrobat and other major PDF viewers.
