Time Check

High assurance applications and critical infrastructures can benefit from a highly accurate and trusted time source. The ability to prove when digital transactions occurred is becoming more important as speed and the vastness of the digital world expands. Whether the digital transaction is a large monetary exchange, stock transaction, B2B purchase, important e-mail correspondence, medical image analysis, or a digital contract, the ability to mark the binding of the exact time of transaction with its contents is essential. This trust ultimately rests on the accuracy, integrity and trust-worthiness of the clock used to mark the time. The computer’s system clock does not suffice.

Proving the authenticity of digital events becomes increasingly difficult as they become a part of the past. Time ü performs periodic measurements of distant digital computer clocks using a secure protocol. Time ü provides irrefutable evidence that the time of the digital clocks under its management and control are traceable, through Sovereign Time, to an Official Time Source, and are secure.

ü Up to three calibrating audits per day
ü Issuance and delivery of the Time Attribute Certificate for each audit
ü Measurements traceable to Universal Coordinated Time (UTC)
ü Notification of failed audits
ü Weekly reports of audit and calibration activity
ü Service availability of 99% with 4 hours Mean Time to Restore
ü Archival audit and calibration records availability for 5 years
ü Published Practices Statement
