What is a Time Stamp Server? Once you receive a valid timestamp certificate from the TSA, whenever you sign, a hash of your code is uploaded on the timestamp server. This helps in recording the date and time of your signature and also certifies that the code was working during the time it was digitally signed.
How does a timestamp server work?
A timestamp server works by taking a hash of a block of items to be timestamped and widely publishing the hash, such as in a newspaper or Usenet post [2–5]. The timestamp proves that the data must have existed at the time, obviously, in order to get into the hash. … It’s a sort of digital digest of the data.
