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).

Examples Include:

• Inscrybe Healthcare - a secure web-based service for healthcare entities that enables secure, convenient, HIPAA-compliant exchange, approval, signature and tracking of time-sensitive healthcare forms and other documentation through paper, web or fax means.

• Inscrybe Office - a secure web-based document-exchange service that allows users to request documents receiving electronic signatures or create certified electronic copies of important documents.

• EPM Service - a content integrity, time-and-date stamp application that applies the USPS® Electronic Postmark® seal to Microsoft® Office documents for trusted third-party content authentication with time-and-date stamping.

Authentidate, the Trusted Transaction Authority^TM, is an authorized provider of trusted third-party timestamp authorities such as the United States Postal Service® Electronic Postmark® and is in compliance with the U.S. ESIGN Law, the German Commercial Code and the EU Signature Directive.
