Trusted time-stamping

A trusted timestamp makes recorded session a more convincing evidence in court.


Prerequisites

  • Trusted time-stamping feature requires signing a contract with an institution providing time-stamping services.
  • Certificate and private key issued by the time-stamping service provider.
  • KIR time-stamping service requires a DNS server to be configured. Refer to the DNS configuration topic for more information on adding DNS servers.
  • Fudo Enterprise must be able to reach the http://www.ts.kir.com.pl/HttpTspServer web address in case of the KIR time-stamping service.
  • Fudo Enterprise must be able to reach the 193.178.164.5 IP address in case of the PWPW time-stamping service.

Data Transmitted to Timestamp Provider

When timestamping sessions in Fudo Enterprise, a hash is generated and sent to the timestamp provider. This hash is composed of session data from the fudo_session table, and content from the session’s RAW dump. It is a one-way hash, ensuring that no session details can be extracted from it.

Note

To ensure the generation of a RAW dump, set the Session recording option in Account settings to all or raw (refer to the Creating a regular account section to see the example).

Enabling and configuring trusted time-stamping

Note

Fudo Enterprise will also time-stamp sessions recorded before the feature was enabled.

  1. Select Settings > Timestamping.
  2. Select the Enabled option.
  3. Select from the Provider drop-down list the institution providing trusted time-stamping services.
  4. Provide the certificate and the private key of the time-stamping service.

Note

You should receive these information from your time-stamping service provider.
