How it works: evidence of time linked to the cryptographic imprint of your data.
Four client projects. Four ways to integrate evidence.
Discover how our clients have integrated qualified timestamping into business applications: field operations, industrial property, electronic invoicing and electronic deliveries.
Client use case 01 · Business software
Home installations: timestamp photographs and field reports.
A French SME developing business software for home installations in the energy efficiency sector integrated qualified timestamping into field operations.
The standard Datasure API timestamps each photograph and the installation reports generated by the software. The evidence file’s components are therefore linked to proof of time and integrity close to the moment they are produced. This client case reported by Datasure was deployed nationwide, using more than one million timestamp tokens a year.
Support changes to the requirements applying to installation evidence files.
Provide evidence when photographs or reports are disputed.
Integrate timestamping into the software used by field teams.
Client use case 02 · Industrial property
Industrial property: establish when files existed before sharing them.
A large CAC 40 group, active internationally across several industries, uses Datasure to build evidence relating to sensitive files.
The client deployed electronic timestamping through Datasure’s digital evidence vault. A custom connector triggers the process whenever a file is deposited in SharePoint. The integration uses Datasure’s OpenAPI descriptions to connect the business application to the evidence workflow.
Associate intellectual property files with proof of time and integrity.
Document the prior existence of versions before patent procedures.
Build an evidence file before sharing documents with partners.
Client use case 03 · Electronic invoicing
Electronic invoicing: trace issuance and transmission.
An electronic invoicing platform using Datasure integrates eIDAS qualified timestamping into its professional invoicing flows.
The platform timestamps invoices or data sent to the tax administration to document their issuance or transmission time and integrity. This component complements the signature, retention and traceability mechanisms implemented in its electronic invoicing workflow.
Link invoices or transmitted data to evidence of time.
Document the integrity of the data associated with exchanges.
Enrich the evidence file supporting invoicing flows.
Client use case 04 · Electronic registered mail
Electronic registered mail: timestamp deliveries and supporting evidence.
A leading French document services business in the real estate sector uses Datasure in its electronic registered delivery workflows.
The client uses eIDAS qualified timestamping to associate verifiable dates and times with the electronic deliveries it carries out as a trusted intermediary. The timestamp tokens contribute to delivery evidence files and document the time and integrity of the data submitted for timestamping.
Timestamp the components of delivery evidence files.
Document the prior existence and integrity of delivery-related data.
Integrate an already qualified trust component into its own service.
Answers to help you plan your project.
Does a timestamp establish authorship?
Timestamping relates to the time and integrity of data. Your evidence package should also contain the material needed to establish authorship, identity and context.
Can we timestamp code, images or business documents?
Cryptographic digests can represent data in various formats. Choose the API and handling method that fit your scenario.
Does the service automatically archive our file?
Plan durable retention of the original file and evidence within your own workflow. Issuing a timestamp does not replace that retention process.
When should the timestamp be requested?
Place the evidence point at the relevant event, such as creating a version, approving, issuing or processing information. Datasure can help scope the scenario.
