Trusted timestamps provide a tamper detection "snapshot" of electronic content at a specific point-in-time. A file with a verifiable timestamp issued by a trusted timestamp authority provides assurance that the contents of the file have not changed since the timestamp was applied. The application of timestamps permit practical content verification for "proof" in commercial business, legal, government and personal applications of content authenticity at that specific point in time.

Authentidate, The Trusted Transaction Authority^TM, provides automated, verifiable trusted timestamps in our products that adhere to the laws for electronic content in the United States as well as in the European Union (EU).

• Inscrybe® Healthcare - a secure web-based service for healthcare entities that enables convenient, HIPAA-compliant document and information exchange.
