Timestamping White Paper

It has been customary throughout the centuries to record the date of the event, in registers. The practice of associating a date or even a time with an event or a document, also called “timestamping”, has its roots in the need to produce evidence to assert or confirm a right or an obligation during a dispute or litigation. This white paper explains the ins and outs of timestamping in our modern digitized economy.
