Stand-alone timestamp certificates for electronic signatures

If your company has regulatory compliance needs to capture a timestamp, but you do not require the use of digital signature certificates, then enabling the stand-alone timestamp may be the option for you!

Overview

Customers that require a cryptographic timestamp in their agreements, but do not want or cannot use digital signatures, have the option to associate a timestamp to the Certification Seal that is applied to all agreements generated in Adobe Acrobat Sign.

This allows for compliance with some regulatory and industry requirements like the Electronic Books Maintenance Act in Japan.

Availability:

Timestamp certificates for electronic signatures is available for enterprise license plans only.
Contact Acrobat Sign support to expose the option in your admin menus.

Configuration scope:

The feature can be enabled at the account and group levels.

Stand Alone Timestamp

Lưu ý:

The stand-alone timestamp feature is  disabled by default.

Enterprise licensed accounts that wish to enable the service, please contact support to expose the option.

How it's used

Once the feature is enabled for the account (or group), no further action is required by the admin or the sender. 

The cryptographic timestamp will be associated automatically to the certification seal for all agreements until the feature is disabled.

Configuration

Once Support has configured the settings on the backend, you will be notified.

At that time:

  1. Navigate to Account Settings > Security Settings > Timestamp.

  2. Enable the Apply a timestamp to certification seals for agreements containing only e-signatures, and their audit reports checkbox.

  3. Save the page configuration.

    TheSecurity Settings admin menu highlighting the Timestamp controls.

Things to know

Associating a cryptographic timestamp to the certification seal generates a small, but perceptible, increase in file size and processing time.
