How does it work?

 
  • 1For the creation and signing of the stamps issued

    ANF AC has an international infrastructure of servers, which function as Time Stamp Units (TSU). Based on blockchain, the timestamp units are unalterable and allow full traceability. All stamps issued by ANF AC have a unique transaction number.

  • 2 As Time Stamping Authority

    ANF AC is in charge of the generation of the time units, consumed by the user upon request.

  • 3 We make available to our customers and partners

    different consumption modalities. Quick and easy integration, following the RFC 3161 standard.

  • 4 Use on the customer's secure servers documents

    files or logs will never leave the entity's secure environment.

ANF AC is one of the few CA’s that owns and offers the technology to verify the validity of the TimeStamp issued by it. Each Time Stamp Units (TSU) manages a list of hash chains that precludes any possible manipulation of the system.



The ANF AC technology has the capacity to provide time stamp services synchronized with the official time of each State in which its Time Stamping Units are located.
