With so much of the world’s economic output suddenly reliant on remote working, PKI has risen in prominence once again, as Mike Hathaway, Ascertia’s CTO, shares in this audio interview.

In a previous blog, we wrote about the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), including how it works, the roles of certificate authorities and how to check certificates. Another element involved in creating and verifying signatures is timestamping, but what exactly does it do?

This blog details how timestamping works, what a Timestamp Authority (TSA) is and why timestamping is beneficial to the longevity and legality of digital signatures.
