Trusted Timestamping & Blockchain Time Anchoring for the Veritize Platform

What is a TSA?

Time Stamping Authority — Your Digital Notary for Time

Trusted Third Party

A TSA is an independent server that cryptographically certifies when a document or data existed, providing legally admissible proof of time.

Privacy Preserved

Only the hash of your document is sent to the TSA — your actual content stays private and never leaves your system.

Cryptographic Proof

The TSA returns a digitally signed timestamp token that can be independently verified by anyone, anytime.

How It Works

1

Your Document

Contract, code, or any data

2

Create Hash

SHA-256 fingerprint

3

Send to TSA

Only hash is transmitted

4

TSA Signs

Adds time + signature

5

Receive Token

Proof of existence

Why It Matters

Legal Evidence

Prove a contract or agreement existed before any dispute arose

IP Protection

Establish prior art and prove you created something first

Compliance

Maintain tamper-proof audit trails for regulatory requirements

E-Signatures

Prove exactly when a document was signed by all parties

Think of it like a Digital Notary

A TSA is like a notary public for time — except it's digital, instant, available 24/7, and cryptographically verifiable by anyone in the world without needing to contact the original authority.
