Trusted Timestamping

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


Prerequisites

  • Trusted timestamping feature requires signing a contract with an institution providing timestamping services.

  • Certificate and private key issued by the timestamping service provider.

  • KIR timestamping 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 timestamping service.

  • Fudo Enterprise must be able to reach the 193.178.164.5 IP address in case of the PWPW timestamping 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 Timestamping

Note

Fudo Enterprise timestamps only those sessions that are completed after the timestamping feature has been enabled.

  1. Select Settings > System.

  2. Go to the General tab and scroll down to the Timestamping section.

  3. Select the Enabled option.

  4. From the Provider drop-down list, select the institution that provides trusted timestamping services.

  5. Upload the certificate and private key issued by the timestamping provider.

Note

The certificate and private key should be provided to you directly by your trusted timestamping service provider.

  1. Click Save.
